„I was born with a curious mind. Embracing this has allowed me to stand in front of some very interesting people and places. I have always experienced the world in a unique way; having an attitude of openness, letting go of all preconceptions, in order to see the World as if for the very first time… with a sense of wonder. This world, as I see it, from the small to the large, from the mundane to the majestic, is a beautiful place. That feeling as I pass through it, that sense of wonder itself, is what I paint to allow others to experience the same.”

"I paint in oils and my work is heavily influenced by my relationship with the medium.
I first start by introducing colours.
I begin applying layers of "byzantine" gold… then other colours, shapes and lines, and I respond to their development. The paintings arise organically and appear through subtle layers of paint that are applied and partially removed over a gold surface. The textured, layered, forms and figures produce images that appear to have been uncovered - discovered.
An opportunity for the discovery is constantly exciting and is one of the main reasons why I do what I do."
