​I paint and draw. It gives me pleasure. Sometimes the results give others pleasure.

Colour, abstraction, expressive landscape, mark making, collage, pastels - these are my tools to create work which respresents my feelings and beliefs.

In troubled times it is the small details which move me. A day-flying Scarlet Tiger moth, the feather from a great spotted woodpecker, the croak of a raven: I notice and keep myself in that moment. Mindfulness is an important practice for me. 

That's all I can say.
