About the Artist
A few words about my work:
Ever since I can remember I have loved the sea and in fact I admit to almost pining for it if I am absent from it for too long. Our fantastically metamorphic coastline with it's sometimes deceptively calming waters is deeply magnetic, mysteriously spiritual and thrillingly vibrant. In addition, I am totally enthralled by the interplay of water and light that is characteristic of sunnier climes. Combined with a requisite cognizance these forces generate an instinctive response within my higher self and enable me to realise my visions.
