Artist Statement

There is something truly astounding about the way a horse can be transformed from a calm and seemingly domesticated creature, one moment, into an explosion of power and wired emotion, the next.  I find this unpredictability and expressiveness, fascinating and a great inspiration in my work.

Historical representations of the equine form are another major source of inspiration for me and am particularly interested in the symbolic, mythological and sacred place the horse has held, throughout history.

I enjoy experimenting with a variety of different media and techniques, always seeking to create new and interesting surface textures, with the feeling of almost excavating the subject from the work surface.
