My medium is acrylic paint on canvas, paper, and more recently wood panel. I prefer to design my paintings first by doing a series of sketches to capture the image as I see it in my mind. Many times I stretch and prepare my own canvas to suit the image instead of trying to force an idea onto a standard size. People can identify with my whimsical surreal worlds, giving them an emotional connection through the vibrant colours or the depicted activity. website facebook linkedin
