"I have been an oil painter and lover of nature’s wild places for the past fifty years. The subjects I paint vary according to my mood or interest at the time but always reflect the wilderness in one way or another – be it the energy of a seascape, the majesty of mountains, the regal Australian eucalypt or under the surface of the vast ocean. Always nature remains a constant source of inspiration to me. Nature's intelligence works with ease, and when we are in harmony with it, we also feel at ease." |
"While prints (AI and photography) adorn many modern-day homes, nothing I feel can replace a cleverly painted original because it is the human element that makes it special. An original has texture; it is created with a living hand and interpreted with a creative mind. It is the human element of creatively recomposing the subject in a new way that makes a painting appear from a live subject or a photograph. A painting can change the way you feel – not just adorn your wall."
