"........inspiration? I have to be honest…….when it comes down to it, it is simply a case of a response to visual stimulus. Always the same, ….. whatever it’s about, colour or light, scale,  texture, line, shape, contrast…….essentially …..this interests me most, lifts my spirits, engages my senses……..compels me to paint. ..........Then comes the historical, the environmental, the emotional, the endangered…….. the application, the surface, the scale, the composition, the technique, the knowledge and understanding ..."

TULIPA COLLECTION

"........I apply the paint with a very small sable brush....I only use the most transparent watercolour, its consistency is crucial in order to retain the luminosity of Kelmscott vellum........it takes such tenacity .........and great patience, it is a labour of love."
