Ian James Roche

I paint my heart out. In the studio, it's just me and the work. Every piece I make teaches me something about myself and about the world. Art is my healer, my teacher, and my most honest expression.

My work draws from dreams, imagination, experience, media, people and places. I don't do preliminary sketches — I go directly onto the surface and let the work evolve. Each painting is evidence of the human spirit's evolution into beauty.
