"I make art to channel diverse aspects of everyday life. 

 

I am currently working on a project called ‘Microworlds’. It is a series of paintings that explores the different social environments in which I am immersed.

 

It is the world I know through personal experience, and this involves reflections on who I am, what I do, and why I am the way I am.

 

I use drawing as part of an integrated practice that encompasses printmaking, collages and paintings.

 

I paint from the perspective of the outsider, and in exhibiting my work, I feel art to be my first language and my mother tongue. I fight against the canvas, destroying and building until the definitive idea emerges."
