My quirky paintings soften the boundary between abstract and non-representational art. Typically the subject is an imaginative narrative where I find my inspiration from the iconic shapes of every day objects. Similar to outsider art my compositions are characterized by a naivety of shapes, a flattening of space and a total disregard to scale and proportion.
