Painting holds the story; imagination vast; our greatest power ever.
The title and purpose of each work is first established, then I have a conversation with
myself. Thereafter it feels as if the work progresses whilst letting my intuition and inner
voice roam to see what happens. I love to look at the progressing results which keeps
me constantly entertained, trying this or that to see what effect it creates in the overall
balanced work. I live the drama of the story when painting.
Days, weeks, months and even years are happily spent editing and making changes. For
me, painting is complete; harmony as the inner voice is silenced.
It is creating that is important, not the canvas, until the moment it is finished and
embodies mind, body, spirit – a being…. doing.

For me creating – the colours are as words, and painting is like making music and magic.

It is always a joy to be in the creative energy.
