"In the work I do I strive to embody a sense of deeper or sacred realities that touch the human spirit, and that resonate with that part of us which is often overlooked and overwhelmed by our fast -paced, materialistic and secular post-modern world. My work then is the attempt through form, to describe the formless and timeless, and is in the tradition of artists concerned with these contemplative and/or spiritual matters such as Mark Tobey, Antonie Tapies, Mark Rothko and more recently the British artists Rebecca Salter and Robyn Denny.

"I use a traditional hand made gesso ground which provides a luminous and light reflective surface for the oil paint. I both add and subtract layers or partial layers of paint, working with a variety of methods including glazes, washes and chemical reactions, often removing whole sections of the painting to allow other areas to "speak".

"I use a very restrained palate, and often scratch into the surface of the painting with strong angular lines to provide a counterpoint of structure to the spontaneous and fluid aspects of the painting. I'm attempting through the simplicity of colour and content to allow and give space to the experience and presence of something other or unknown."
