'I strive to express graphically the power of the subject, the mass and movement in the structure, the spectrum of colour radiating from the object, in essence the life force. The intangible inspires me to paint, in much the same way that hearing a piece of music or a particular voice inspires me to sing. I am driven to create and recreate the experience of initial inspiration and to communicate and share the sentient experience with the viewer'
