Statement
“My work is about my passion for colours and how they relate to each other, how they help to create form and space. For me colour expresses how I feel about life and light. The forms and shapes create energy that play together to make a joyful whole.
This energy and movement dance around my work, whether a painting in acrylic or watercolour, printmaking or sculpture, magically incorporating the values and vibrancy to create the harmonious relationships in the finished work. “
