most appropriate to the idea.
Therefore, I include Prints:
either hand made using dry
point techniques or Computer

generated, Sculptures and
installations using recycled
materials, Mosaics using
traditional methods and lastly
acrylic painting.
All my work is created from my
own first hand research,
recorded through drawing,
sketching, painting and
photography. Ideas develop
spontaneously out of that
experience and I work them up
in a way that exemplifies the
point I wish to make.
In February 2010, three
colleagues and I will exhibit
our latest work at The Empire
Hotel, Brunei, under the group
name of 'Empat' which means
four in Malay. Our theme is
"Home and Away" because of our
recent experience; they as
Bruneians studying abroad and
newly returned and I as an
Ex-pat who has worked in
Brunei for the last thirteen
years.
I am creating new work
specifically for this
exhibition based on my
experience of the jungle and
wildlife of Borneo. The Pygmy
elephant features heavily
because It is only recently
discovered to be a subspecies
and not a 'standard' Asian
elephant! They are wonderful
beasts who are endangered,

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
My Artistic inspiration may come from anywhere! At the prado I discovered how amazing Rubens really was and at La Reina Sophia I got held up by Jaun Gris, just before I made Guernica beep by standing too close to it. I love the exploded shed in the Tate Modern. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I never really considered anything else, except perhaps to be a writer. After Art College, teacher training and twenty eight years working as an Artist and Teacher I still can't think of anything else I'd rather be, Art is never ending so it's impossible to get bored. |
