I started out drawing animals, insects and imaginary creatures. My earliest inspiration probably came from cartoons, then Miro, Kandinsky and Picasso.

By my teens I was drawn to images inspired by Charles Dickens, and then later became fascinated by the Surrealists. And so I began painting imaginary landscapes inspired by the literature of C.S. Lewis and Ray Bradbury. As a teen I actually sold some of these works to private collectors.

In 2003 I was inspired by my late partner to start painting artwork again, and with my deep knowledge of paint technology, began to delve into the realm of painting on Acrylic Glass and super smooth substrates as a base medium, rather than canvas or paper.

My techniques involve what I call "traveling" (pouring) paint into a water "carrier”. Then splashing, splooshing, dragging, using fans & levelers to change flow, or blowing through a straw; all sorts of techniques that mainly do not involve using a brush.

Since 2003 I have been working with these techniques and mediums and my work has evolved. I understand many of the limitations of these processes, but love the liberation, spontaneity, and sheer joy in the surprises these multi-layer techniques produce.

I use acrylic glass (Plexiglas) for two reasons. First, polymers (like acrylic) love binding to each other if allowed to dry/cure properly. Once the carrier (water) has evaporated, the acrylic paint binds very well with acrylic glass.As long as the work is treated like any other piece of fine art, it will outlast you, your children, and their children's children. . Plexiglas has a long history as one of the oldest plastics to come into mass production, and it does not contain any of the hormone mimicking disruptors that have been a great cause for alarm in other plastics.
