Artist Statement
I just love drawing, the excitement of making a line; giving it meaning and life. Ideas come from places and situations. I find myself drawing, from simple observed studies I enjoy the process of breaking down images towards abstracted conclusions.I have been influenced by Piper, Spencer, Nash and more recently by Rowland Hilder and the English Watercolour Tradition.
