I just found out that I have Bipolar Disease, which helps to explain my range of style and subject matter.
I've been making art for quite a few years and I constantly challenge myself to find new ways of looking at things and portraying them.
Having an extensive background as a photographer, I often use my photographic images as references for my paintings.
Influences include Japanese prints, Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Georgia O'Keefe and the
Expressionist artists, especially the Fauves. I'm also influenced by
photographers such as Man Ray and Ansel Adams and love Kandinsy and Chagall for their joyful canvases.
