I am a self taught artist. I have been painting since 2002 and I have always loved art from a young age. My work is inspired by my life experiences and I draw on these experience to create my work. I love the freedom painting gives me to express myself. I find it therapeutic to create and I’d be miserable without it.
My artistic process varies from painting to painting. Most of my work is not planned before I put the paint onto the canvas. I recognise that I paint the way I feel and all of my work is very personal. After I finish a painting I reflect on what was going on in my life when I produced it and it is usually then that I ascertain its meaning. At times I’ll get an urge to create something without knowing why and only come to realise what the painting meant to me once it is finished. To date I have penciled in two canvases before painting them. I don’t really like knowing where a work is going or having a set plan because I enjoy being lost in the process.
