Wishing you joyful celebrations this evening. Here’s to creating more contemporary paintings in 2020. I wonder what art will emerge in 2020? I have ideas, but they always evolve. My paintings devlop on their own after I paint them, so I never know exactly how they’ll turn out until I’ve finished removing the masking layer.

Why not join me on the journey in 2020?

I send out regular updates with news about my latest paintings
