“I try to convey through my paintings, something emotional that connects with the viewer, a feeling that is timeless. I am greatly moved by light and shadow, and find inspiration all around me - from the shaft of light glowing through an interior, to the sparkle of light dancing through the leaves on a Summer day. I try to convey that feeling, of seeing the extraordinary, even in the most ordinary things!”
