My art practice is inspired by stories. Over many years of exploring diverse cultures and landscapes across the planet, I have collected numerous stories and images of people and places. Using oil, wax and ink I paint these stories on wood, paper, canvas and stone. Hovering between abstraction and postmodern sensitivities, my work invites viewers to merge their own memories into the vast continent of cultural collective consciousness.

My art emanates from the past, is shared in the present and informs the future.
