I am inspired by nature in various forms such as light, colour, texture, landscape, wildlife and space. Inspiration comes from ideas and sketches gained by looking at books, magazines, painting outside and also the work of other artists such as the French Impressionists and the abstract impressionists of the middle to late twentieth century.
