Statement
The theme of my painting process has been based on the construction of us as human beings and how experience forms us. There are many seasons that shape the person that we are. In that process there is so much built into each separate layer, only to be broken down over time. Yet we keep certain aspects of those different times, for they make up who we are in response.
In a spiritual pursuit in life some things remain with us as reminders, while others must depart for us to move forward in our objective. In life there is a creator, or God, (in my personal beliefs) who is shaping and molding us until the end of our lives. In art, it is the artist who is adding and shedding aspects to bring the conclusion to their art pieces.
Although there is a theme for me personally embedded in the work, it is not brought across bluntly and interpretation should not be limited to my personal view. My Paintings are not necessarily a direct reference to any specific subject matter. They are left open ended. Their titles have little bearing on the paintings themselves and were only given to distinguish them when speaking with people.
Regarding my creation process, I tend to work intuitively in order to allow room for my subconscious thoughts to manifest themselves visually and to reach conclusions that I would not have naturally arrived at.
