An innate curiosity has meant that travel has played a big part in my life. I'm one of those people who are more at-ease on the road than at home.
But I don't travel to paint; it's rare that works are completed within the context that inspires them. I travel to absorb, to immerse myself in other languages, beliefs, realities. I spend time in places rather than passing through. This immersion yields surprising impressions – often years later, when I reflect on my visual and written records and feel moved to express some form of synthesis.
For me, the essential impressions seem to need the geographic gap and gestation time in order to surface, and when they do, they often arrive fully formed.
I simply assemble them.

The nomad's collection pages are included as an overview. Larger images of the works, with notes, appear in the main portfolio.
The majority are available for exhibition and purchase.
