| Artist’s Statement: | |
I began my artistic journey by painting landscapes in oils, switching a few years later to painting large flowers in watercolours. At first, my work was realistic, but as time went by, I found that I wanted my work NOT to be like a photograph. Slowly but surely, I found myself working less and less realistically, and turning instead to the abstract. Once I gave up on realism and started to work abstractly, I found myself exploring different forms of abstraction. Organic shapes, geometric shapes, collages, textures, all were fair game. The whole process was very freeing. I was able to just let my imagination and creativity run free. What a liberating experience that has been. For me, painting has been a journey of self discovery, of testing skills and limits, of defining who I am. |
