ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I draw my inspiration from a number of areas. I use my own photographs and paintings from which to abstract forms and colours to design glass. I like to try and introduce movement into my work and I have recently used strobe, still frames and distorted movement pictures to inspire some work. I have also drawn on the sea for inspiration. The works I shall exhibit use some of these ideas.
