"I consider myself an encaustic artist. I have used other forms of media over some 50-plus years of artistic practice, painting and creating, but encaustics is my preferred medium – I would go so far as to say that I am ‘addicted’!

For the “Cosmology Series”, I have drawn inspiration from various scientists and theorists and embellished them in a metaphorical way to reflect how I think the universe functions. In this way, I hope my artwork is both educational and aesthetically pleasing.

Nebulae, galaxies, and quasars are depicted from memory—rather than literally—as a symphony of colours, and I paint them in my go-to medium, encaustics. I appreciated the most recent exploding star in the Milky Way Galaxy, Kepler's supernova so much, it became the starting point for the “Cosmology Series”.
