Life is worth taking risks Painting

The focus of my artistic work is expressive abstract painting. In addition smaller works on paper and ceramics arise out of the creative process. In all of my works I use a collage technique. I work with glazes and layers, the revelations of breaks and the use of transparent surface reveal the past and that which lies under the surface. In this way I try to draw out the complexity of life. I want to give form to the contradictions and the increasing difficulty of assassing and catagorising reality. Intensity, the infathomable and vitality are always close together.
