I have discovered a new passion in painting. One that frees me from replication and opens up an intuitive freedom, where the paint takes me for a ride.

It is never ending fun looking for images found in the movement of watercolour pigment and salt on damp paper. The paint makes suggestions and I develop the images or decorative lines it suggests.

Playing with landscape, space and forms creates a whimsical tapestry, a kind of Where’s Waldo in watercolour.

My paintings are not grasped in an instant. They need a meandering eye to discover the partially hidden images. I look at my paintings and rediscover images all over again. It is lots of fun!
