‘My work hinges on the relationship between photographic images and the drawn mark, combining old and new technology and I enjoy the contrast in the results that are possible from simple single colour images to complex full colour reproductions.  Travel, memories and emotions are recurrent themes in my work.  I possess a comprehensive understanding of computer hardware and software, which is utilised extensively in the production of my work.  Colourists such as Patrick Heron, Albert Irvin and Howard Hodgkin provide great inspiration.  I feel that my work moves across boundaries.’
