started to paint simply for pleasure and very rapidly to my surprise
and delight, my work generated a great deal of interest. This inspired
me to experiment with innovative techniques and mixed media to develop
my own style. I aim to create bold, vibrant, emotive and energetic
canvases. The paintings range from representational images to textural
abstracts, from wildlife to majestic coastal scenes with a great deal in
between. I like to think that the use of striking colour is the
defining indicator of my work.
