“I like my work to have a happy or magical element to it. Art should make you smile as well as think. I feel I have the perfect career. When I am painting everything seems right, the outside world falls away and I am immersed in my own subject and experience. When starting each new painting I visualise in my mind the key elements of the work and paint directly onto the canvas. I use acrylics because they dry very quickly. Every painting is a challenge for pleasure and enjoyment.”
