“I have always been intrigued by the expressive power of mark making, and this applies equally to the graphic drawing mediums, or to paint. The formal qualities of tone and colour are evocative, of course, but for me, an enriched surface, enlivened with a range of interesting marks, is both suggestive and seductive, and this holds true whether the image is quite realistic or moves into abstraction.”
