“In my waterscapes, I look for simplicity, essence, meaning and poetry. While my paintings are inspired by the power and magic of water, the underlying constant theme in my body of work is the feeling of longing. The bittersweet melancholy of the human experience. Sometimes described as an “oceanic” sensation, it is a kind of burning desire to be one with the universe.”
