Artist Statement

Inspiration for my painting develops largely through the influences of nature's forms and colours, the landscape, cultural imagery and how humanity relates to the environment. I can't paint without music; it sets the tone for my work and gets my creative juices flowing.
My work is usually conceptual; probably a leftover from my advertising days where I was trained to visualise. As a result themes for my exhibitions - including 'Rocks at the Rocks', 'Rockpeople', 'Earth Mother', 'Vessels' and 'As Female' - tend to emerge from each other linking my creative journey.
