Artists Statement
MY FIRST MEMORIES OF MAKING ART WAS A PATTERN I HAD MADE WITH A COMPASS AND COLOURING IT IN WITH COLOURED PENCILS AGE 8 NOW 64 YEARS LATER STILL DOING PATTERNS WHICH UNDERLY MY PRACTICE.
WHEN ARTWORK IS FINISHED I FEEL A SENSE OF COMPLETION AND ITS ON IT OWN.
MY INFLUENCE FROM ART SCHOOL WAS FAUVISM (INTENSE COLOUR A VEHICLE FOR DESCRIBING LIGHT/SPACE AND FORM).
