The work is my statement.Presently the work is abstract.
I have worked full time as a visual artist since 1999, and have spent those years exploring ways to communicate thoughts and concerns with my paintings and drawings
Its not all you see on the surface, it goes deeper than that. The work goes back many years, what I have seen, experienced, touched and collected.
My present surroundings, here in Wales, and that of Cornwall where I spend much of my time, inform the work, and inspire the subject matter.
Then with the painting and drawing I remember, and try to make sense of it all.
