I love colour! It's what urges me to start a new artwork. I don't usually have an exact idea of what my finished piece will look like and the process is always daunting ~ I am filled with both confidence and insecurity. Inks are still my preferred medium and I get quite a thrill working with them ~ each brushstroke is an irreversible moment of truth, discovery and magic in which I try to capture the expression in that unique moment.
I believe that inspiration is everywhere, and sometimes I'm not even aware of it at the moment I'm experiencing it. However, my own state of being always plays an important role in my choice of colour, medium and form. This awareness helps me keep redefining myself ~ casting off the old me in search of the new. I don't like labelling my work because I find that limiting. Experiences, influences and thinking affect the working process of an artist, and these can bring unpredictable and exciting changes.
My fascination with pattern has been my constant companion since childhood. During the creative process, I'm always amazed at how my only limit is my own imagination!
I nurtured a love for paper and typography throughout my years working as a graphic designer and I combine these within the projects that I do either for my own products or for my clients.
And here’s a small note about caring for your art ~ a few simple precautions will help to ensure longevity and safety of fine art: avoid hanging artworks directly exposed to a light source; keep humidity and temperature fluctuations to a minimum; store prints flat and placed in enclosures, and when handling prints, make sure your hands are always clean and dry, and avoid touching the printed surface.
