I paint not knowing. 
I paint to discover. 
I paint to record feeling. 
I paint to communicate, what I can’t say. 
I paint to defy, my inevitable death. 
I paint to express, a natural life force in us all. 
I paint in a dream. 
I paint to see, if you feel the same. 
“Nothing is clear at the outset but an impulse to explore colour and material reality. There is a dialogue between the work and the artist, which drives the work on. Hopefully to a conclusion or state of discovery. The paintings are not pre designed but are arrived at by a process of searching.
Searching for an energy, life, a connection. Something surprising, something natural. Not to a nature just out there but one that is also internal..... and within us all.”
