Artist Statement: ''I very much enjoy abstract painting as I have previously found realism too limiting and formulaic. My abstract paintings begin and develop from no preconceived ideas or compositions and thus, what is created does not come from thinking or meticulous planning but often happens spontaneously and in the moment. I feel creating in this manner gives works produced a special uniqueness and character. Many of my pieces in their composition are not recognisable as anything you may see with the naked eye, giving each individual person the opportunity to form their own unique interpretation of what is displayed. I like to think that when I paint I am trying to capture what lies beyond the realms of our everyday world and what is removed from our perception and present that mystery to you on the canvas.''
