Wintergarden Feast Painting

In my paintings I use acrylic paint, pastels, oil bars and pencils, and work on canvas or wooden panels. I paint, scratch, draw and repaint again. Underneath my work are lots of layers. It is a time-consuming process. I keep going until I feel the work is balanced. Painting and drawing are both merged in my work, this combination of techniques suits me. A common element in my paintings are the ‘whites’ tones, which if you watch closer, are actually not whites. Underlying colors shine through and give an interesting depth. This way of working gives me an enormous amount of freedom to discover and express myself.
