About the artist.
​
There is occasionally a splatter of colour, which is beautiful and serene. It may be the thing that brings us peace or sanity. We face many things in these days that overshadow our lives like a growing storm. It is light, life and beauty that interest me more than anything when creating an image or writing a poem. And yet I acknowledge the need to see the whole story and the darker tones. In my world I want colour. I need light and I want to create the beautiful thing. A sunset, A moonlit night, a rose. I want to tell of the hope that I hold in my heart. Fixing my gaze on the point of light. “When I have been going through hell I have kept going”. That expression may be a cliché but it describes where I have been and why I make and look for the thing that delights. That brings hope, or enhances my own heart. The experience of pain emotional and physical is why I make and write in the way I do. “I choose not to project the twisted decaying debris of life. I choose the rose. I choose light”.
