About the art:
'My artworks are abstract and semi-abstract, and a channel other than verbal through which I can express how I feel. I feel strongly about many issues - social, political, cultural, educational (and also have many personal issues!) - and although my artwork does not always address these issues directly, I am mostly driven to painting the feelings or emotions aroused by them, as they are boiling inside me, and need to be expressed. Nature is an important inspiration, as is my family - and, at the end of the day, the people who buy my art and commission paintings also inspire me to keep on painting and expressing through this visual medium.
I love painting on large canvasses, using bright and bold colours, either starkly contrasted, or one colour flowing from another. My paintings start with a vision, feeling, idea or emotion, and a vague shape in mind, and develop from there. I can never predict exactly what the end result will be or look like until the very last moment, when I realise that the painting has reached completion. "
