Often my work is created in response to landscape, both natural and manmade. The passing of time, which also changes the environment, also interests me.

I paint in watercolours as I love the way the colours flow together to give unexpected but hoped for results; but I also use mixed media and strange found or collected recycled objects. Sometimes, if possible, I like the viewer to be able to be actively involved with an artwork, perhaps through touch, or by a box being opened, a page being turned or by contributing to the work. A recent installation encouraged people to walk over a work made up of 3000 eggshells.

Seeing how people react to my work is interesting – a reaction is always better than no reaction. Whether it is found fun or thought provoking, intriguing or relaxing is rewarding to my sense of judgement to the success of a piece of art.

Every painting or creation is made with care and great thought that I hope is of interest to other people.
