"In my art practice I am honoring my Ancestors. I associate the experience of using my full body, making broad, bold, wild, unconscious brushstrokes, with my mother's Sea Ferring Cornish lineage. The wild, raw, rugged landscape and the powerful, fierce, elemental sea are deeply imprinted in my soul. The other side of my practice involves refinement, deep concentration, stillness, meditation, deep breathing. I can become lost in pattern, repetition, using a fluid delicate dark line, I am more controlled. I associate this with my fathers Indian lineage and the decorative arts of India. With the combination of these two opposing styles I find myself dancing between Chaos and Order."
