Art has been an essential part of my life.
I'm passionate about the importance of creativity and 'play' in our lives, especially as adults.
The areas I have lived in have provided the inspiration for the compositions I create.
There has always been an underlying purpose behind my work: sometimes revealed, sometimes not.
Looking back on a lifetime of work it could be safely said that I have an obsession with
birds, native plants, patterns and circles.
