I am inspired by my immediate external environment and how, through the process of osmosis, I absorb visual information in response to these spaces. Once the mark making begins, it is very much an intuitive one, a visual dialogue starts to evolve between myself and the marks that are being produced. Through this diagloue the piece goes through various stages of change, be it scraping away the paint, turning the image, layering of paint, letting it settle, working areas up leaving marks and colours be until a visual resolution is reached.
