"When I paint I try to get beyond the surface of self to a deeper self . There is an intereaction of body, mind and spirit and a unifying process takes place in which opposite principles are often brought together i.e. the physical and the spiritual.

This results in paintings that cannot always be easily defined, for I want the paintings to transcend labelling and static definitions.

I see my paintings as a kind of yoga and meditation, where my aim is to create a momentary insight and awakening into the transience of nature; inside and outside myself.

I hope then, that the paintings transmit a quality of awareness that is both resting and stimulating, and revelatory rather than explanatory."
