Line, colour and brushstroke – sometimes frantically vigorous and at other times more quiet are dependent upon mood, and the organic emerging of metaphors for example in the landscape and figurative develops my awareness and imagination.

The flexibility of brushes in motion together with the application of paint, carried out in an agitated way and in a quick and energetic method of direct painting is what painting is all about for me.
