What I term as abstract intuitive is my main focus in my creating art. It involves drawing with ball point pen onto watercolour paper. The time to complete these drawings takes about 30 seconds, but sometimes longer if I am in a deep state of relaxation. I analyze the completed drawings, and any motifs such as embryonic forms or wing-like shapes are painted with my personal choice of symbolic colours in which reds, oranges and pinks for embryonic motifs and yellows, blues, or purples for wings.

My inspirations come mainly from my automatic drawings, however, I admire the British painter, Gary Hume with his mammoth sized steel and enamel minimalistic figure paintings. Hilma Auf Klint and her giant intuitive abstract paintings also interest me, and align with my own technique of drawing from the unconscious. Wassily Kandinsky's vibrant early abstractions pre WWI also inspire me. Of course, Joan Miró's organic abstracted forms, especially his Constellation series, inspire me as well.

Should I be lucky enough to win the $25,000, I would put the money towards renting a studio space in order to complete a series of large scale works after which I would then approach a few galleries I have in mind in Vancouver, Canada. One gallery, Bau-Xi Gallery both in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada has an affiliate gallery, Foster/White in Seattle, WA which I am interested in approaching once I complete a series I have already started in my bachelor apartment. Adequate space is an issue.
