"Whilst my work is mainly abstract, I paint mostly in a direct spontaneous way”
I work mainly In watercolour ,oil ,acrylic and mixed media .
I develop my themes simultaneously ,working on 3 or more themes at the same time over a period of time .
Often cross influence development occurs and leades me to development in new ways.
My influence are wide ranging and I have a great interest in all forms and schools of art and art history throughout the ages.
