"Contemplation" Painting

I paint for myself. Paint can only be paint, however hard it tries to disguise itself as anything else, it will always reveal its true nature as its form. The nature of paint is what sets it apart from all other, nothing can replicate nor mimic the paint, its ability to transcribe, reflect and respond, yet always speaking of itself. I paint for paintings sake and for the sake of paint, I will paint, nothing else will do.

I studied fine art painting, thou my practise currently retracts from any notions of academia prerequisites or any pre conceived notions of image or concept. In painting I find my non verbal voice, which exists as a visual language, within its own terms. It is not something to be transcribed into words, it is a Language for the eyes and soul.

My language forms as I wake, as I work, as I look, as I dream, as I study, as I gaze, as I walk as I be. My dialog with paint is constant, picking up a brush stoke here or a colour from there, I continuously add to my story. Constantly seeing and constantly feeling, my paint finally connects the two.

I do not currently participate in exhibitions as I feel this distracts from my current working state. I have exhibited and sold previous collections. I have curated shows and am actively engaged professionally with the arts industry.
