"Painting is the excitement of observation and creation. It is a give-and-take process of communicating what I see, how I feel while allowing the painting to surprise me with endless ways to do that. My content is larely drawn from my travels and personal experiences. My 'style' is naturalistic, sometimes expressionistic with colour, light and form being the most dominant elements."
