Artist’s Statement
A celebration of life and the cathartic and healing property of art-making, my Optimism of Color series
forms part of my personal creative response to a seemingly mundane accident in January 2011 that led
to my near death. Working on the pieces has taken me far from the trauma of my accident and the
depression that followed me through recovery.

Through vibrant colours and bold visceral forms, the works shout out my joy at being alive and my good
fortune at being able to continue to make art. And indeed, the paintings bring a smile to my face every
time I see them. I hope they bring viewers similar joy and perhaps laughter when they encounter them.
