Iconographs are large-scale acrylic paintings derived from sources
primordial, historical and contemporarv.

I work both as an artist and an art conservator.

There is a metaphorical overlap in the two practices and both require
creativity and imagination. They rejoin lost cultural history and
deep personal values through intimate contact with existing images
and materials. My own work takes me back through the history of image
making to ancient sources of creativity.
