“I have a deep interest in traditions of practice, in colour, line, mark-making and edge.” Imagery springs from anything that excites: communication, touch, tension, flight, landscape, the spaces between and things sacred. I wish my work to have a timeless quality which the on-looker can dip into and be instilled with ever-changing thoughts, questions and smiles.”
