I have many different influences; the study of organic properties, plant life, landscape,
architecture and fragments of the past, for example an old sign, a found object or a visual memory. All of these are abstracted on the canvas and are random renderings of my subconscious. There may be some preconceived idea about what I am portraying,
but the approach is always spontaneous.

The direction of each painting begins with the establishment of a drawing. the initial color is a random pick and the following is an intuitive response to the first. I continue in this fashion until all impression of painting is fulfilled.
