Pastel is my favourite medium, although I also paint in oil. While I choose a wide variety of subjects, including landscape, animals, and myths, my preferred is people. The human face is an endless source of inspiration to me, and the landscape of the body provides me limitless raw material for artistic expression. The fascinating complexity of individuals available for portraits, and the beauty of male and female form available for figure work enable me to explore and express my artistic ideas.
The painting shown here is called Styro' Fishin' and shows children fishing offshore of an island in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, out of their styrofoam boat.
