Artist's Statement: I develop my paintings by sketching images from which spring from memory, imagination as well as through observation. Having been inspired by symbolism in religious art, folk art and indigenous or "primitive" art, I gather together my own images to create a personal symbology. My intention is to turn askew the conventional reading of portraiture and to reconstruct a contemporary iconography.

The head has been the central theme for a recent series of work in oils and in watercolour. I use photographs of family and friends as references or models. By developing one subject in two mediums I mean to create two parallel universes: The world of the imagination and one of the everyday. The individuals portrayed in these oil paintings come from an imaginary culture where everyday objects become tools, religious relics, or even fetish objects used to obtain some sort of paradise. The watercolour paintings then become the worlds these people imagine; a world of beliefs and superstitions, of dreams and of nightmares.
