About the Artist

A simple phrase or impression feeds a process that involves playing with words and mental images. These incubate for a while in a bath of incongruous associations, visual analogies, metaphors to eventually surface as "aha!" moments of inspiration.

My characters take on a life of their own and depict what is essentially eccentric about their existence.
