My intention is to extend the concept of a portrayal of a figure using the water to express something more about them through reflection or the surface qualities; an alter ego, a deeper emotion, a secret desire, or a darker side of the person involved.

Waterworks is my latest series of paintings created while in residence at Ondarte. These works explore the combination of figures and water, and are a continuation of my interest in body language, emotion and narrative. My intention is to extend the concept of a portrayal of a figure using the water to express something more about them through a reflection, or through the surface qualities of the water, or through the gesture of the figure. The resulting combination has the capacity to invoke a deeper emotion, or portray an alter ego, a secret desire, or a darker side of the person involved.
