Someone once said that if you scratch an abstract painting, a landscape lies just beneath the surface. Not a literal landscape obviously, but a landscape of the mind. I believe the job of any good painter is to notice the world around them - to pay close attention, to glimpse... and then give expression to those feelings and observations.

The act of painting is the act of discovery.
​It is adventurous.
​It is arduous.
Ultimately the joy is in the doing.
The making of the thing.
​​The work itself.
