"I find creating art deeply meditative; it’s a translation of my emotions into something tangible. I tend to focus more on the emotional being than the figurative one, and see the religious and iconic themes in my work as an expression of the ultimate portrayal of unconditional love. My work is like a diary, I can look back and see where I was at the time of its creation."

What does it mean to Paint? .......It is like those few moments before daybreak. When the darkened night, starts to shift. Painting dark blue with black on the horizon. Then to look and see the warm oranges and yellows pushing back the black , So far back that you forget that it was night. Then the sun. You have to look away , the moment , the energy is to much ! Then you look closer, nearer to your centre, up and feel the sun on your head. The heavens blue and you feel wrapped in a new hope. Starting again, a day to make a change, to bring joy, to admire and just to say thank you, thank you!"
