My painting is inspired by my travels. The colour and pattern of the earth, and the movement and impact of human culture is documented on journeys taken to destinations across the globe including India, China and the islands of the South Pacific and Mediterranean.

Villages, roads, tracks, paths, rivers, landscape, architecture, pattern and design are recorded as small paintings in my travel journals. When at home, places and experiences are recalled and the journey with materials and process begins.

I paint on handmade Chinese mulberry paper using coloured inks. Painting with ink allows me to work spontaneously and intuitively and record my experiences in an immediate and uncompromising way. The first mark dictates the direction of the composition and layers are built up to create movement, shape and texture, revealing new forms and relationships.
