About the Artist

My travels and many interests in life often lead to artistic inspiration and new artistic endeavours, which in turn enable me to relax.

I regard myself as a cheerful painter and not only enjoy creativity for myself, but hope other people feel good by my paintings too.

Since I took up painting again, my enthusiasm has grown and grown, and now every opportunity is used to work on something new.

I currently paint with acrylic paints, acrylic inks and encaustic wax mediums, and it is my intention to add sculpture to my portfolio in the coming year. My images are created where possible, with bright cheerful colours and contrasts, reflecting my outlook on life.

In recent times, I have produced paintings with an abstract theme of life including topics of physics, civilisation, language and culture. Now I am expanding out to different subjects e.g. landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, still life and industrial.

Gravity

2004
Acrylic on canvas

Exclamation

2004
Acrylic on canvas

2005
Acrylic on canvas

A conservation picture; recent historical research suggests that early Easter Island people were heavily engaged in statue building, which resulted in the loss of all trees on the island. This in turn led to both an environmental and cultural collapse. In some parts of the world today, there is much talk of clearing land, without thought of the future consequences.
