Why Paint?

​

My art is representative and expresses the enjoyment of nature and life. I try and capture the universality of love through art.

​

It is a sensory experience. There is a spirituality in the painting process. I believe in the right to life and exist in this world and beyond.

​

I try to capture more than just a likeness in my figurative paintings. The 'birdness' of a bird or the essence of a creature.

​

The use of enhanced colour, like a cobalt sky and an ultramarine sea is evident in a landcape.

​

Shell and Nature Series respect the previous inhabitants of what are vessels, found washed up on a beach. Things of beauty in their own right - the soul moved on to another realm, and reveal the object left behind.

​

I exist therefore I paint.

​

It is my language,

my craft.
