How would you describe your work to someone seeing it for the first time?

I would like to say my images are engaging, distinctive, unusual, thought provoking - “about” rather than “of”. But describing what I see in terms of colours, sizes, shapes, patterns and textures is very different than expressing what I think an image is about.

For that reason I would prefer to ask the viewer what they see when they look at the work. Because my art is interpretive, it’s important to understand how people respond to it, and what they are responding to - or not - emotionally as well as intellectually. What they see, what they think about the work, and how it makes them feel.

Often, viewers see very different things than what I intended or was striving for (especially with the abstracts). I don’t think that’s a shortcoming - there is not just one right way to look at any piece of art, because art is individual, and personal.

What and which artists have influenced your work?

Some of the artists who opened my eyes to various aspects of making art include those below, but the answer to this question is open ended, and changes over time as my own artistic development evolves.

• Egon Schiele, for his joyous ability to make a single line sing
• Frederick Remington, for his mastery of balance
• Cindy Sherman, for her unrelenting exploration of reinvention
• Henry Moore, for his matchless ability to make me look his pieces from all sides and angles, and see what is not there (as well as what is)
• Georgia O’Keefe, for her ability to compel a sense of destination
• Edward Hopper, who sparked my love for the world at night
• Alex Colville, for his ability to convey urgency in a frozen moment in time
• Henri Cartier-Bresson, who taught us all how to “see”

Two of the key influences that shaped my outlook and interests, and awakened my imagination at a very young age, were

• the National Geographic, whose children’s version of their publication ignited the lifelong passion to explore the natural world and engage with the creatures that inhabit it, and,
• Jacques Cousteau, who introduced me to the concept of “other worlds”

If you could collaborate with any artist past or present, who would you select and why?

Bruce Springsteen. I can imagine creating a book of b/w (straight) photographic images of the people and places in the America he imagined and brought to life in his songbook.

What can we expect to see from you in the future?

I have just finished the first of a two part project that combines approximately 50 works of my interpretive art and 12 of my short stories, based on the conceptual scheme of the Chinese zodiac. The second part, containing 6 poems, 5 short stories and approximately 35 interpretive artworks, will be completed by the end of the year.
