Artist Statement

It should come as no surprise that I think in pictures, having spent so much of my life as a conceiver and visualiser of ideas. These days, painting, photography and generally making marks on surfaces have become my natural medium. I respond positively to anything displaying overtly graphic qualities – strong lines, vibrant colours, abstract shapes. I find that landscapes, interior spaces and natural forms can change into abstract, ambiguous and tantalizing compositions. I find this transformation endlessly fascinating.
