I explore light and form in the elements, particularly water. There is structure in all my paintings – buildings, landscapes, boats- but those things only provide a support to the real subject matter. I allow the action and the light in the water or sky to create the dynamics of the picture. The immediacy of pastel together with its translucent quality, even after many layers, helps me achieve this.

My work is the result of inspired observation. I hope that the viewer’s imagination is as inspired as mine was when I decided to create the picture.
