“My paintings are often personal,but also universal. Something which
might be seemingly straightforward has often other interpretations
which I’m oblivious to at the time. All these images come from a
culmination of experience - living in London for years,the rooms in the
city,the infringement of space and thought,the isolation of such a
place,also the atmosphere and fibre and feeling coming from the
steeped-inhistory of my home Dol Pebyll in Wales”.
