Art Philosophy
Illuminated by dreams, observation and introspection my works reflect on psychological processes and questions of meaning and significance, both personal and social. I am particularily interested in contemporary issues, and images that convey the unspoken.
I work in a variety of two-dimensional media: photographic, digital, and traditional.
Focus of the current exhibition
The recent works tend toward the surreal
and speak of the unknown or unacknowledged
and invite us to ponder how much lies beyond the surface of things.
