STATEMENT
Extracts taken from BBC Leeds Website
Having used
many different mediums over the years I have been particularly pleased with the
work I have produced using Acrylics and have realised I must practise using only
Acrylics in order to Master the Medium.
When I paint,
I am enveloped into the artwork. Sometimes I do not know what I will paint when
I start. I look at the canvas, wonder what the result will be, and am filled
with excitement and unknowing. The images come with each layer of paint. Other
times I have an idea, a concept that appears from something in everyday life or
a feeling, or thought I get and I work with that in mind. I see art in the
world around me whether it is a beautiful mountain or people grafting in
everyday life, and create images in my own understanding.
My art is not
limited to a particular look or feel and it has been said on more than one
occasion I have different styles. My paintings are created by how I feel about
the subject and how I want to communicate my feelings about it. If I had a
particular fixed style then I would be constricted by what I paint.
Painting is
about exploration, discovery and learning. It is a journey into my own artistic
ability and creativeness; how I perceive the
world and how I
reiterate that onto the canvas for others to see.
