The question of who I am comes to mind frequently. And it is to be discovered, this continent of me, in the space between thought and the habit of action. As Eckhart Tolle explained, the pain body has a driving motivation. How fully we see ourselves depends on how quickly we understand the motivation of our own thoughts. To ask the question, 'Why do you want to do that?' can give me time to be curious. It is how I discover and learn to love myself.At the bottom of the well, if I stick my head way, way down with a flashlight, is fear. I will crust it over, armour it in anger. Because anger feels strong and because anger will protect me, I place anger in front of fear to protect it. But the problem is that I have now hidden my fear. It is in a costume. In the deepest part of the dark cave, is a scared being.We yearn to loveThe problem with anger is that it gets in the way. When I feel angry, defensive, I have now put myself into a state where I cannot love. I cannot love others, but most harmful of all, I can no longer love myself.

MY SUBJECTS ARE DRAWN FROM MY IMAGINATION
and their flowing lines are helped along by the music I listen to while painting.
My inspirations come from direct contact with my family and the world around me. My confidence with the use of bold colours and flowing brush strokes echo the dynamic sounds and movement of my immediate environment: the wind in the trees, water over rocks, the laughter and buoyancy of our young daughter.
My creative process is simple but by painting bare-foot, I let the painting take me where it needs to go. Each canvas contains the repeated use of recurring shapes in nature, creating a hypnotic rhythm and a sense of movement long after the music has stopped.
Locally and internationally recognition has been growing for my work. My works has been shown in U.S.A. ,Italy , Japan and Canada.
