"Texture, pattern and light are the  key elements in my paintings. By changing any of these factors a painting can be constantly evolving with little variation in the actual subject matter. The introduction of a specific texture or pattern can define the mood of the painting. By integrating both disciplines my work can develop in many directions.
I particularly like to work in watercolour and gouache because of the purity of the medium. It is direct, lively and very free. These qualities take you on a journey and often the outcome is nowhere near the original starting point."
