What inspires me is natural phenomena and expressing my reaction to it. My work is eclectic,
and traditionally based.

If there is one word which signifies my pursuit of expression, it is pigment; its power of colour,
texture and definition.

When the work gives pleasure or arouses speculative thought, my efforts are richly rewarded.
