Painting is a battle. It is a constant exploration, a questioning of nature and the many different forms it takes around and within us. My paintings are internal landscapes exploring the fragility and strength of the human state.

Each day is a journey; I am looking, searching for relationships, situations and objects that intrigue me. It could be a shadow, rock pools, a kiss, an argument, light falling on a flower, a letter or a memory. It is the essence and discovery of these moments that inspires me.

In order to paint I have to evoke parts of myself usually hidden away. The only way for me to do this is through my response to music. It allows me to express sensitive perceptions from past and present through the light and dark of human emotion.

As a result these paintings are honest, challenging, intuitive, celebratory and, most importantly, they are straight from the heart.
