I have long regarded myself as part of the landscape: sky, rocks, hills, rivers and trees. To lose myself enough in nature and by entering an intuitive creative process that is improvised rather than preconceived. Colour is a form of interpretation of what one sees with the senses. Painting is not a refuge from life but an intensification of living. The experience of working with a painting as it unfolds brings me home to who I am and so I hope to always have the art of painting as my life expression.
