Artist's Statement
"My work is a personal
expression of the world around me. I am particularly concerned with the
effects of light in teh landscape and my work is often inspired by trips
abroad. I also aim to encourage the viewer to take delight in
unconventional subject matter and see things with a new eye. I work in
various media but watercolour particularly appeals to me because of its
immediacy of use and the luminosity of its colours".
