Alone Together at Café Café There is music playing everywhere. A young couple, alone together at Café Café Prague discuss their living arrangements. Plan next departures with built-in rendezvous points, all the while dreaming alternate lines of flight they never speak about. An author of some renown scribbles notes as she listens to the conversations […]

I am exploring thinking, feeling, sensing and intuition as a visual artist, engaged with the concepts of diffraction, becoming abstract, assemblage as per Delueze, Barad, Grosz. Do these ideas and authors discuss “feeling, sensing and intuition” through those concepts? Yes, the concepts of diffraction, becoming abstract, assemblage, and the authors you mentioned all touch upon

Mondrian’s Window is a multi-layered, multi-media painting that draws upon the work of several seminal artists. The piece begins with an abstracted black lattice that pays homage to the renowned work of Piet Mondrian. However, the traditional sense of order and structure is disrupted, and instead, we are presented with a fractured, fragmented version of
Untitled New ArtWork Does a title really matter? I use this experimental piece and the accompanying narrative to bring more explicitly art references and other influences into the story/composition. This multilayered, multimedia work brings a Mondrian-like scaffolding to a textured ground that is part earth-scape, part colour fields, part wall & paper debris, a conflation

Recently completed after abiding patiently in the archives for eight years, awaiting the final completion stage. Sometimes it takes that long.

Detritus Doubled, each 18″ x 24″, mixed media on heavy paper. These two were created side by side, on the floor of the Studio. Can I call it diptych? The base is gold tempera. More apparent in one, as the other was softened with a creamy white. Then with oil pastel crayon I added gestural
As one might gather from my portfolio, I’m a free stylist, or experimentalist. I take inspiration from a variety of sources – for example, artists of the modern era and of contemporary times. In decades past, I was inspired by Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Rothko, Picasso, among many others. Other influences come from literary, scientific,

This painting was the first undertaking for what became the Improbable Landscape series. The canvas used for this was actually another abstract piece that the owner donated, as she did not like the design once hanging in her home office. I removed most of the existing acrylic paint and re-conceived the whole work as
