It is such a great feeling to be able produce a piece of art and to feel proud of it… and then for someone to actually like it, and to buy it. I put so much of ‘me’ into my artwork – my feelings and emotions, blood, sweat and tears. I often feel that my paintings are so personal that they can only possibly talk to me. When I am then informed that somebody has bought a particular painting I am often amazed, not because I don’t like the painting that I have worked so hard on but mainly because it was produced by me and to be honest, for me.
I am not an artist who can paint with an audience in mind and alter my style accordingly. I paint for the love of painting and I really feel the work deeply in my heart so much that sometime I obsess over it. Each painting is carved and sculpted out of the various thoughts and feelings that I once had at some point in my life.
I hope that others like/love my work, of course I do, but I believe that unless I utterly love my work nobody else will.
I have had so many people who tell me narratives of my work and put their own take on each piece and that is exactly what I hope for, that each one of us will create our own stories and will feel our own feelings when viewing the paintings.
I paint out of my own personal love of art but I also hope that maybe my work can bring a little pleasure, healing, love, happiness and much more to other people too.
