Exquisite papers fire up my imagination.
Vivid colours, delicate textures, exotic patterns, luminescent metallics, qualities like these from a wide variety of superb papers become my 'palette'. They bring to life my impressionist images.
I'm always searching for exciting new papers. When looking, sometimes at hundreds of samples, one can catch my eye. I'm intrigued. Maybe it will fit in with a work in progress; it might suggest a theme for a new artwork. Or maybe it's just potential I see; I'll live with it for awhile and wait for the paper to show me a direction.
My unique 'paper mosaic' technique gives me complete artistic freedom to express the drama of a windswept northern landscape, the hint of mystery in a face, the elegance of a delicate flower or a shimmering tropical scene.
