My first step is usually colour; I paint the board or canvas with acrylics, which leaves me with the energy of the colours. The next step is adding on to it, getting into almost 3-dimensional works with forms and texture by using all kinds of different material, such as paper, bark, lichens, mica, wasp nests, sand, roots, wax, metal, acrylic gels, etc. Most of my paintings have a rich expression through texture and colour.
I am focused on what already exists: in the Beauty of God’s Creation. My passion is to see it and to translate it into a different form and colour. I try to show the original message of matter – its texture, patterns and forms. The simplicity and collaboration of components that create one perfect form, such as a wasp nest or a rosebud always fascinated me – and there is still a lot for me to discover!
