I used to accompany people through uncharted territories of the psyche; now I make images of those inner landscapes.

My background as a psychologist definitely influences my current creative practice, but making art has always been an essential part of my life. The drive is to explore and bring to life. 

I work with ink, paint, canvas, linen, gold leaf, thread, soy and earth pigments,

The resulting images are familiar and imagined landscapes, symbols, faces and figures that are recognizable like an old story, an elusive memory or a longed-for experience. Almost remembered. Almost forgotten. They tell us about back then and right now.

They belong to the collective unconscious. The tale. The dream you almost recall. The thing waiting at the edge of vision.    These paintings don’t explain.    They invite.

They ask: What do you see? What do you feel? What rises when you stay a little longer?

Some will soothe. Some will unsettle. Some will leave you curious. Each one is a mirror for you to enter and consider.

The pieces I value most are the ones that keep unfolding. You return. They shift. They reveal you back to yourself.   Not a place to arrive.
     A magical place to keep exploring.
