Artistic background

I've loved painting since I was at school. However, I didn't do anything serious for years. I made a promise to myself that when I retire, I will fulfil my true calling and get down to work. Within a year, I had completed over 100 canvases. I was happy with most of them but relised that art is a continual learning process.
My inspiration comes from the unknown, that which is unseen and beyond the realm of human understanding. I’ve always wondered what lies beneath and on the far side of our perceptual experience. For me, painting is a stilling of the mind. A meditation that can transcend normal thought. No matter the subject, I aim to find the still point.
