"I focus on timeless personal and universal issues; hopes and fears, wishes, lies and dreams, immortality and transience, challenging myself and the viewer to look beyond the surface to see what depths are hidden. I embue my work with the quality of allegory; not to be factual, but to be truthful in character. There are no prescriptive messages, but the montaged images invite subversive readings. By questioning the issue of power and how it is implemented, the dignity of the individual and the strength of the spirit is celebrated in my work. I have worked on the Apple, IBM and Amiga and I currently use a Mac clone; I usually prepare a custom substrate for printing and work back into the printed piece with traditional artist materials."
