My paintings are about texture, gesture and the memories and feelings they evoke. I approach them with a sense of play, experimentation and my emotional response as they evolve. Mostly, I let them take me where they will. It is all about the process, becoming immersed in the moment, the physicality of engaging the surface, and finding a sense of order, refuge and letting go.
