Painting has been the best way to use my mind at its fullest ( or the most satisfying endeavor ), always a source for surprises or discoveries . I do paint for myself first , curious about where imagination will take me to . Even though wax has been my favorite medium for many years , I do love its potential for “ accidents ”, its sensuality and the countless possibilities it offers , medium and techniques are secondary to the process . I think I have now been able to evade the trap of wax for wax`s sake and I feel much freer in my work , less restraint brought on by the medium .
Self-taught , I started painting late , did not take it seriously till about 10 years ago and now as I get older I am trying to catch up , there is a sense of urgency . Spontaneity . I am not worried anymore about making mistakes , I just go on and if not satisfied , the heat gun or torch are only a few steps away .
