I approach my work as a visual poem -- the images are symbolic of emotions and events in my life. Colour is extremely significant in expressing energy, joy and movement -- especially the vitality of the events and relationships depicted. The works are very personal, but they are also meant to stir echoes in the imagination of the viewer.
