I paint primarily with acrylics and mixed media on board and use collage, encaustic, and plaster in my work. I work intuitively at a very high energy level, and normally on a number of pieces at the same time. Although I am inspired by the battered rust eaten objects I find on the shores of the harbour, my emphasis is on abstraction and texture. Sometimes an obscure detail or surface resonates with me and triggers a narrative. Chance and the unpredictable are an integral part of my painting process.
