My work examines the overactive imagination; its effects on the creative process as well as a home for personal insecurities. I want to ask the viewer what is more liberating: the removal of our demons or the recognition of them?
Can our fear be embraced and used as a wellspring of strength?
My hope is to unlock the viewer’s repressed maelstrom of emotions from a base of patience, compassion and love. The viewer can delve into their conflict – exploring their darker self - and connect with their heart. This dialogue with the sensual world develops emotional authenticity: seeing and feeling things for what they are without attaching unnecessary meaning
