My works develop their own life as I paint them, generally, I have an intention in mind but I allow free rein with my materials and processes and enjoy seeing where it takes me. To me, painting is about the joy that I get, this feeling can then communicate with the viewer. I prefer to work on board as I enjoy the way in which the paint glides over the surface rather than sinking into a canvas, I also use scrapers and spatulas to create layers, allowing the underneath to peek out, creating a sense of depth and spatiality.
