Artist Statement
My frame of mind when creating is that of total concentration due to the amount of detail and accuracy I like to achieve in my work yet, after a while it’s almost as though I’m transported out of my analytical mind and into my heart in another zone or level where time seems to stands still. The atmosphere is that of love – the love of what I am doing and love for the animals that I am portraying.
Before I start a piece the eyes are what I notice first. They mesmerize me. These beautiful creatures are calling me to express that they are not just mere commodities; to be exploited, used or forgotten. The technique of scratchboard enables me to capture the unique detail of my subjects that brings them to life.
