'I always paint wet-on-wet using oils, and love the vibrancy of the colours and the beautiful blends of tones that I can create with this medium. I have always resisted using quick drying acrylics as I believe that oils have a look of quality and depth in colour that truly enhance any painting.
I paint in a semi-abstract style and always straight onto a blank canvas. I never sketch beforehand as I feel it restricts my creativity.
I am very much self-taught, and I believe that this has in fact helped me remain very loose in the way I express myself on canvas.'
