The paintings are made with acrylic paint on canvas stretched on a wooden frame, they can be hung without an outer frame.
I like the mystery of art, how images arrive through the process of painting and repainting. Animals usually appear and I think they link to the unconscious or collective consciousness.
I am open to letting the ideas flow through me. Works that are sold are held in private collections in America, New Zealand, Europe and the UK.

Painting has a powerful energy for me and sometimes I feel it takes so much physically and mentally starting with a blank canvas and working with line, colour and form until an image arrives.
I have painted animals for many years but the human figure has been calling me for sometime. I think the art dolls are one way I can bring the human form into my work. In away I am unable to say where painting will take me this year and that is the quest.

Many thanks to my customers your support is really appreciated.

I like that; they wanted to safeguard their freedom."
