'...lyrical, uplifting, moving...'. Art of England, November 2008

I find painting to be both a great joy and, also sometimes, a great frustration. I struggle to find a balance between the two sides of my artistic personality, one free, full of expression and power, the other, careful and meticulous, creating order out of chaos. Thankfully, it is the struggle that makes it all worthwhile.
Of late, classical music has been the prime inspiration behind my paintings. I find nothing moves me more than music and I try to translate those feelings onto canvas.
I am forever changing, experimenting as 'keeping still' is not an option. I can only hope that the struggle and the experimentation leads to successful results.
