Painting
has always been a very important part of my life. It enriches my
life to an extent that when I am not painting I feel that I am not
doing what I was meant to do. Over the years I have found that I
am truly a mood painter and when I get started it is hard to stop.
There is something very personal about painting to me. I tend to
put my whole self into my work, and I suppose as many artists do,
I lose myself in the piece when I start to paint.
The sensitive
nature of my work and the ‘dreamy’ quality I hope will extend to
the viewer a sense of peace and tranquility, perhaps a way of bringing
the natural beauty that is all around us closer to the viewer, closer
to the heart. I feel that a painting is not finished unless it has
the capacity to stir feelings in the viewer, to make them feel captivated
by those feelings, to enliven them.
Since I
started painting I have completed well over 1,100 originals. My
style has changed over the years but the ethereal quality is always
there. I have always been fascinated by nature and truly inspired
by it. Capturing the freedom of nature, it's beauty, wonder and
spirit, is what stirs my soul. It is that which I wish to convey
to others, bringing a bit of peacefulness into the lives of those
who wish to partake. I hope for a personal connection between the
painting and the individual, that they will relate as strongly as
I to the subject and the feelings that took place when it was created.
