What inspires me? The everyday and the everlasting, the transient and the eternal, the minutiae of everyday life and the immensity of the divine; how one finds itself - and oneself - in the other. Beauty.

I am a conceptual fine artist. I make paintings, small sculptures and installations and would describe myself as a painter in its broadest terms.

My work is inspired by my spirituality and spiritual journey. It is concerned with the concept of inspiration itself and the sky and chalice or vessel are two of the motifs through which I communicate this concern.
