In essence my work is about feeling, feeling through my senses and discovering what lies beyond and below the surface of what I wish to express visually.

I endeavour to seek visual harmony, beauty and balance and a new perception of the inner and outer world through painting, drawing and poetry. I work with simple themes which are deeply worked through to find new images often abstract and sometimes finding familiar forms.

The way I work is inspired by the classical methodology that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe created called Goethean Observation.

Firstly I observe and attempt to really ‘see’ either the object or subject I am working with. I then work with the movements I perceive inwardly which are suggested to me by the actual movements of the subject matter and also the colours I have chosen, this often leads me to discover forms that I can relate to which I can enhance if I wish in order to bring them into being. Finally I find a resting place that connects me to the essence of what I am working with and completion of the work.
