The creative process gives the artist the opportunity to contemplate and reflect on our surroundings. Our world, be it of objects or ideas, elicits an emotional response which the artist endeavors to communicate through their chosen medium. Through my work in oils, I wish to portray familiar scenes or objects in a manner that highlights their inherent beauty and simplicity while paying homage to the value of craftsmanship and validating the importance of representational works. This process allows the artist to communicate with the viewer through a visual and aesthetic language which is universally understood.
