I am self taught artist gaining experience through the university of life, practice: influenced by life and magnificent creations of many great artists in particular August Rodin.
I have yearned for years to devote time to art. I recall my earliest expression of art in a junior infants’ class when I was given some plasticine and constructed a tree in which a nesting bird was placed. It drew praise from the teacher and gave me a sense of elation which buried a memory deep within me. That incident, dormant for so long, had a subliminal impact which culminated in a renaissance of a new art adventure a little over two years ago.
Rekindling my latent talent commenced slowly. After decades working in a different occupation, it takes time to rewire one’s synapses in adapting to an entirely new outlook of analysing, composing and creating. At the outset of this journey I embarked on a new quest. While sculpting is my primary focus, I decided to take up painting with acrylics and graduating to oils.
Art requires commitment, dedication and sacrifice. It is constant struggle to engender ideas, concepts and vistas. As I work from my imagination it needs focus, effort and a supreme struggle to abstract ideas into forms and shapes for presentation by an unseen audience.
Limited resources, space and funds confine my output to exhibiting in cyberspace which I present for your delectation in this WEBGALLERY.
