“The Blue Lagoon is a disused slate quarry at Abereiddy in Pembrokeshire. When slate quarrying ended, a gap was blasted using dynamite to create a small harbour. Because of minerals in the quarry the water is always a very greenish, viridian colour, a complete contrast to the colour of the sea.”
“What I most admire in a landscape is not so much the story itself, but the lights and colors that overlap, intersect, come together to outline the scene. In this woodland scene I was caught by the sunset lights that spread fantastic colors all around.”
“Poppies are symbolic flowers. They represent the loyalty and faith between lovers. A red poppy flower is used as a symbol for people that had fallen during wars. Yellow poppies are symbols of wealth and success in Feng Shui.”
“I discovered an old photograph of the homeless man in the painting sitting alone in a car park and became instantly drawn to the figure. His loneliness and the way he was hunched over fascinated me. I wanted to paint him within a bright, colourful space to juxtapose against the severity of his situation. I love the use of colour and harsh lines to create space and allowing the man to 'pop' off the page, forcing the viewer to look at and acknowledge him. After all, homelessness is an ever increasing problem that needs to be addressed, not just ignored.”
“These butane blue fans the burning embers of your burned out soul”
"This is one of my favourite flowers. I enjoy the contrast of the hot crimson pink and red against the cool blue of the sky in this painting, capturing a bright fresh feeling on the canvas."
"When painting this young lady the prayer to Mother Mary kept coming to mind. A very deep and thoughtful pose. How blessed we are as artists to have the honour to witness and capture such inner beauty."
"This is a painting of my model, Grene, which I painted on a panel of beech board. I tried to incorporate the colour (a beautiful light yellow) and the grain of the wood into to the painting."
“"Exhausted, trembling, the Warrior bows his head." There is something both powerful and vulnerable about the naked male body. This work is one of a series of male nudes, showing a young serving soldier who is also an artists' model when home on leave. In my warrior series I am exploring the concept of the fragility of the individual versus the heroic ideal of the fighting man. The inner turmoil of both witnessing and taking part in violence leaves it mark on the physique. Muscular shoulders contract and twist as the head dips in memory of what cannot be unseen.”
“Look at those colors! Nature is so beautiful, creating such unbelievable scenes for the eyes. After a visit to Santa Fe, one of my favorite places, I'm again under the influence of colors and culture.”
