The ‘Diversity’ paintings were originally practice pieces, experiments I made with different paints and methods of applying them, but they became popular and entered into my portfolio in their own right.

‘Ego’ was the first of the ‘Inner Landscape’ paintings and set the tone for whole project.

A feature of my paintings, the application of sand to the primer mix, which allows me to physically shape the surface, has become a trademark of my paintings. Whilst the shapes or symbols I create in my paintings give them a sculptured, a three-dimensional aspect yet they are painted on an almost perfectly flat surface. This optical illusion is one aspect of my paintings which, I feel, make them openly accessible.
