Exhibition information

My paintings can be described as a synthesis of the internal and external, colour relationships seen and imagined. The ideas are visual and the work communicates like music in a non-verbal way reflecting and evoking, not copying, nature. There is a symbiotic relationship between differing or opposing elements such as accident and order, translucence and opaqueness, stillness and energy. My practice is a continuing process, the paintings being offshoots of that process, each one bringing and feeding ideas for others. The process is a dialogue with the work. Starting with no concept of the end result the paintings evelve over time.
