“My approach to painting is to begin with no plan or end game in mind. I start by making spontaneous marks, responding to them with further marks or patches of colour – laid down instinctively and quickly.
Gradually there is a call for coherence through structure and form. These structural elements gradually emerge from the mark making and create the necessary armature which supports the free-flowing expression. The pace of painting slows as I concentrate on weaving together structure and spontaneity – seeking balance and harmony.”
