Artist’s Statement

 

“Art has always made me happy as I am a person who has a need to express myself creatively. I continue to challenge myself with every new piece of work that I produce. I love to learn from the process of creating different pieces of art and there is always something that surprises me. What I hope to achieve in my work is to make something which is perceived to be interesting to look at and is absorbing. I always try to inject positive emotion and energy into my art. I am most passionate about the use of colour, how it may be blended and particularly how attention to detail may be expressed uniquely in a piece of art. I am at my happiest when I find myself lost in deep concentration working on a new painting or drawing."​
