“I think of my work as semi-abstract, seeking to juxtapose reality with intuition, so that the work also encompasses layers of memory, time and emotion. Change and renewal are underlying themes within the natural environment, but also with the life figure, so I am always seeking to create a dynamic visual statement in my work. As an art teacher, I am an advocate of the expressive power of drawing, a fundamental activity which underpins my own art practice.”
