“Collating my work together for this website has alerted me to the the fact there really are some coherent themes in my work. The love of texture runs through all my work, the playful delight at discovering a serendipitous mark, making a painting suddenly come together; the boldness to literally attack each surface I work on, sometime pushing it right back to the bare bones... The urgency of wanting to take down my responses to landscape is like a fever.”
