I Realised That If I Did What

The Paintings By Van Gough And Chagall Had A Big Influence On Me.

During The Winter When The Weather Is Too Poor To Work Outside, I Do Use Drawings And Photographs, But I Change My Work So It Is Not Just A Time And Place Study.

I Want To Paint Big, Bright, Optimistic Pictures Of The Place I Love.

I Have Lived In Cornwall From The Age Of 4, So I Have Always Been Aware Of The Artistic Heritage That The County Has. I Feel Very Proud To Be Able To Connect To This.
