“I am predominately an oil painter & believe a strong drawing forms the bones of a good painting therefore most of my time is dedicated to this discipline. Many of my works are reflections of my own personal journey.The images I create are a direct response to events that have shaped me both as a person & artist. I have a strong connection to the land & a love of animals that reflect in my art. Energy, expression & emotion are key elements when I draw & paint, with an underlying story behind the scenes that gradually presents itself on completion.. I TELL STORIES.”
