“My work has different aspects. With landscape painting I work directly outside,mainly in the Snowdonia mountains. I hope to convey inwardness and my feeling for the intensity of life and movement in everything living and growing. My abstract work, painted in the studio is more meditative and reflective, relating often to personal experiences, but sometimes the two converge and landscape becomes allegory.”
