‘…The paintings use abstraction as an expression of subjective experience combining a physical and emotional charge through their use of colour and scale. The pieces seek to combine an interlocking of image and paint as is reflected in the methods of spreading, pouring, brushing and gesture which is employed to give the paintings a spontaneous quality and a nature that they are living, moving, and existing.’

‘…It has taken many years to gain the experience and understanding into my engagement with the medium which has resulted in my being able to work in this way, often very quickly relying on my instinct, intuition and experience of the medium and my way of working. Working quickly and ‘in the moment’ allows me to create a dialogue with the painting, having a conversation in some ways, responding to changing form and colour as the process develops and the painting matures. This results in a process of Improvisation best likened to music, Free Jazz and the improvised solo in more traditional Jazz.’
