This painting shows the transition from one phase to another. I was in the process of ending a certain stage of life but it was before the next one started, and it felt like the crossing of a river. I started to go into the dark, so it was natural to call this the Styx as I observed the death of part of myself. I did not do this consciously: it emerged and I was able to identify it afterwards. This painting consists of many layers of textured paint which makes the painting very three-dimensional.

My work changes and moves constantly, which is a reflection of my international background, my constant travels, and my personal quest. Born in New York City, I grew up in Asia, in cultures where both worship and meditation are an integral part of everyday life. This constant sense of the sacred permeates my work, which explores the themes of evolution, transformation, and transmutation. I have practised vipassana meditation for over twenty years and it is central to my vision as an artist. That meditative state of mind is the starting point of creation for me, and I let it through by allowing the colours to present themselves, the figures to emerge, the forms to find their way into existence, and subconscious and deeply hidden elements of the psyche to come to light through the suggestion of the paint. My work is an exercise in process. I work with a great range of painting, drawing, and printmaking media, and with a background in painting and paper restoration, my work often involves fine detail. Much of my artistic schooling has been in traditional technique, but I am interested in applying those techniques to create something personal. It is the mood of the artwork which interests me above all else, and different techniques can contribute to that as much as the theme. My work is in private collections worldwide: in England, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Greece, South Africa, Australia, and the USA (New York, California, and Texas).
