Artist's Statement
I’ve always been led by a constant sense of curiosity and wonder at the natural world. Light, darkness, movement, sound and all the magical energies of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom; we humans are all utterly connected to these. These are the powerful elements that move me to want to respond in a creative, intuitive way.
It suits me best these days to just work in a simple state of trust and to primitively explore in the moment. Memory and imagination, playfulness and risk-taking are woven together with colour and pattern, texture and line, shape and form, to inspire gesture, mark-making, construction and the utter joy of what paint has to say that words cannot… My work has found its way into various private collections in the UK, France, Canada, USA, Greece and Norway. Together with commissioned murals and community projects in schools and galleries, I am also very happy to have several paintings on permanent display for patients in Teddington Memorial Hospital.
