“For me, the act of painting is always a journey. It is my love of arranging shapes of colour and orchestrating a composition that sings, that propels the journey forward and what I find most satisfying about the work I do. The hope is always that the painting I create will breathe life into a space, in the same way that music can colour a room. Although the results are different with each painting, my work is always rooted in my deep appreciation for the natural world around me.”
