“I explore the relationship between interior and exterior space, the interior being intimate and personal, the exterior being immense—the universe, the cosmos. My paintings represent the near and the far, the view through a telescope, the view through a microscope, the sheltering sky, the intimate forest. 

To call my paintings landscapes would be misleading since they are inventions of my imagination and reference the world of nature rather than depict it literally. Space is organic and time is non-linear—a group of different objects moving through the picture plane at various rates of speed, in opposite directions, some gliding slowly and others whirring as if in a blender. There is a sense that the activity continues outside the borders of the paintings as the forms flirt with the edges or get chopped off by them. Some forms are only just coming into being while others have already 'come out' and some just like to watch. 

By virtue of their inability to be fully identified, the objects remain in the realm of the poetic.” — MH
My visions are achieved through various combinations of painting, printmaking and drawing. The dichotomy of chaos and calm informs and directs my work.” — PD
