Artist Statement
I believe it is the
skills of selection, composition and observation that make a good
picture. These are the skills I am trying to develop as a painter as
I feel they unlock the world as a treasure trove of interesting
subjects. Drawing from life is the foundation of my art, it is a path that never ends. There is always more to learn and
more to see. It is an exciting journey as I feel that the more I draw
& paint the happier I am with the work I produce.
The stronger the work
becomes, the more effectively it can act as vehicle for expressing
myself.
