About The Artist
My paintings explore the use of vibrant, non-representational colour to evoke emotions and responses.
I want to capture “the moment”, experiencing it through my eyes, emotions and connection; and to bring to life, my imagination and interpretation.
My inspiration is drawn from the love of travel and adventure; responding to the immediate people, culture and surroundings. My work aims to capture the randomness of forms, light, textures and colours.
