About me
"The act of making art has been a lifelong quest. If I am not painting, then I am dreaming of painting. I like to interpret my subject rather than record it - thus striving for more of an impression rather than a detailed representational image. My paintings often celebrate nature and familiar settings - the ordinary viewed at a special moment in time. The quality of light, unique atmospheric conditions and inherent colour influence my paintings. I like to work quickly and directly, using decisive marks. I love colour and use it freely."
