'Initially the paintings begin with an emotional and direct response to a specific landscape. This experience is translated into drawing, then onto canvas. Through a process of re-working, the paintings evolve beyond the original concept into unpredictable series of works.

This process necessitates working on four or five paintings similtaneously over a period of months. In fact there are no rules or defined proceedures to restrict the development of the work, that is controlled by free action and chance. If this experience of process is encouraged to dominate, the results are pleasingly anarchistic. The act of painting becomes the expression of freedom and randomness of gesture. This may give the paintings the appearance of being in continual progress and development that is why I prefer to view them together rather than as seperate pieces'
