My work aims generally to express symbol and metaphor. Occasionally figurative, the forms are usually drawn from nature and because of my interest in poetry, linked to an "image" or setting. I attempt to vary the responses to an idea so that they are not in the same or repetitive style (but from the same hand.) If the work appears to be abstract, it is due to trying to distill an essence - in spiritual unity with the source
