 'When I am painting, my artistic expression is coming more from my unconsciousness about an event or something that is happening in my life now or in the past. Being in the moment and letting go of control allows my creative energy to flow.
It’s sometimes a battle until I become synchronised with myself, the colours and the canvas.  From the moment we are born to the end of our lives, there are significant moments which remain with you. These are represented in this collection, capturing the relationships with life'. 

 

NATURE IS A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR TEXTURE AND COLOUR.
