“I know artists whose medium is life itself and who express the inexpressible without brush, pencil, chisel or guitar ….
They neither paint nor dance.Their medium is Being.
Whatever their hand touches has increased Life ….
They see and don’t have to draw ….
They are the artists of Being Alive.”
– Frederick Frank –
ART
Friends and buyers describe me as their mystery artist.
Most of my work contains a hidden image, a shadow or story. This is my way of replicating the surprise you get when you look at a scene and suddenly you see more than you thought was there: a camouflaged insect on the bark, an illusive figure behind, the dancing shadow.
Often this happens without my planning, almost as if there is a greater force guiding my brush.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The moment I take the shot, I feel both a part of and apart from my subject.
My work is largely unedited. I like to reveal the truth in the colours and shadows, unfettered by visual effects and techniques. I love the surprise and mystery of the story yet unheard.
January 2018 Newsletter Extract:
It has been confirmed! I am extremely honored and grateful to have the privilege of sending my work to Washington DC to hang in the Private Art Collection of the International Monetary Fund.
Thank you to the Universe for this affirmation.
“Waterfalls To Heaven” will be shipped this week and will soon be hanging on the walls in the new IMF’s Head Office.
