About Us

When I paint, I paint with three “I’s” ... inspiration, interpretation and imagination.  My travels provide inspiration, which I captrue in my sketch books (76 of them) and then repurpose using my imagination, back in my hotel room or studio with acrylic, oils or watercolour.  I never paint what I see; only what I feel.

Having said this my inspiration comes primarily from the urban landscape.  This means architecture of all sorts; buildings and boats to vehicles or machinery.  I am fascinated by the effect that nature has on this architecture . . . weathering it or breaking it down to give it a unique character.  I am captivated by the idea that when architecture is new it looks essentially the same as any other architecture in the same category . . . it is time and my imagination that gives it its unique quality and characteristics.
