The world has suffered through many tragedies wars, 9-11 and more all at the hand of man. Also, natural disasters to further cause anguish floods, earthquakes, and fires to name a few. Like everyone, I have been saddened and horrified at each occurrence.

As an artist, I wanted to express my thoughts on these tragedies. I decided not to paint death, destruction and human anguish but a hope for the future. To paint the wonderful simple things that have occurred and will occur again and again in the future. With clear colours, recognizable shapes and drawing on past and present experiences. I paint people enjoying simple pleasures within their environment, or, getting a fresh perspective on life.
