Artist Statement:

Most things are not what they seem, it is all in the details.

   My focus is on life as we see it but don't always notice.

   We busy ourselves with everyday tasks-tedious/important/unimportant/necessary/ pointless/seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time type, that require our attention whether we like it or not.      Somewhere in the process we neglect to notice small little casual things that make mundane unique and give colour and joy to “plodding on”. In my work I focus on those ordinary extraordinary details to bring positivity, joy and colour to your day. I take a situation, add my take on it-from the “outside looking in”, bystander’s perspective-exaggerate somewhat, add an unexpected detail or a title to emphasise the point, colour to aid the positive message-and it’s done!
