Artist Statement
From a very small child until the age of about nine years I drew on
a daily basis - purely from my imagination. It is important as an artist, not
be locked into ones tools, though I have now worked with the computer as a
design tool for over twenty five years, I try to never loose touch of the traditional
organic methods set before me. Never intimidated by the technology. As a child my father would remind me constantly
how important is was to be in touch with the organic
side, not to force the perfect image, trying to correct the natural flow. Not to loose the youthful spirit here. It has not
been easy to abide by this rule, but I am now trying to bring this forth
letting the creative process flow naturally, perhaps by surprise, nothing that
is too planned. I gather my materials with a rough idea in mind, perhaps
something that amuses me and work from this. The Media and Entertainment
fields have been a big part of my work in both print and in my Television work,
I continue to pull from these ideas. It is important that my life
has beauty in it, this I feel,reflects my work and my passion to create
wherever it may take and surprise me.
