Thanks for dropping by my Creativestem profile!
I am a South Australian exhibiting artist infatuated with drawing and painting in all its forms. I use both traditional mediums (charcoal/paint) and digital (Wacom tablet/Photoshop/Painter) to create my work which I hope you enjoy here.
My artist statement goes something like this..
I like to think of my work as honest and original in its intent, with a fondness for line and figurative expression.
For me, creating art is really about self expression and truth… it’s important for me to produce something relevant
and authentic to myself…something born out of inspiration and then fuelled by a passion to create something
unique and original.
It’s also about communication. I’m simply trying to articulate and express myself through metaphors of colour, tone
and surface texture using a subtext of paint, brushstrokes, collage and mark making.
I get so much satisfaction from the act of drawing or watching something materialise on a sheet of paper in front of
me. There is something magical about this act which draws me back time and time again.
I guess that like a musician, creating art can somehow transport you to another world, and for my own part this has
become a very addictive but rewarding ritual. I’m curious about where this will lead..
