' My paintings are a celebration of the world around me. I am excited by the way light sparkles on water; how soft, dappled light transforms a scene; the crumbly texture of an old stone wall; the joy and innocence of youth.
I suppose my pictures are moments in time - moments of perceived beauty, which I try to capture and then share with you, the viewer. If you enjoy the images, my pleasure is multiplied.'
