"Painting intuitively-constructed landscapes, I strive for a metaphoric, poetic presence, rather than a literal representation of nature. A lyrical truth is achieved, not by mimicking nature but in response to it, constructing a two-dimensional, tactile and atmospheric world of forms in space. I am interested in landscape as an extension of the consciousness of the artist and observer; as a reference to my experience in the world. In my work, a painterly vocabulary of flatness and abstraction co-exists with a perceived, representational space."
