My ideas and how I apply them to the canvases are seldom subtle and my intention is for the artworks to be striking and distinctive. I often use bold blocks of colour and outlines to anchor my designs that (I hope) are sometimes spiritual, fantastical, political, and in the tradition of modern and humanist art. As I develop my paintings, I focus on an idea, an effect, and a mood. I enjoy painting in different styles and my works range from abstract to abstract figurative, pop art to expressionism, in addition to impressionist works. I’m (currently) inspired by artists like Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Wassily Kandinsky, Roy Lichtenstein, and Fernand Léger. I also love looking at the sculptures of Henry Moore. Their creations resonate with me and, in their own ways, they explore emotion and expression through colour and shape.
