sketches & paintings

Art is not just about making a pretty picture... it is a way of tapping into the human psyche, into that primordial well of emotion and association that lies far beneath the surface of what can easily be named and perceived. Line, shape, colour and texture all come together into a fluid dance, creating an image for the viewer to behold. Whether for its beauty or its meaning, art endures in the hands of those who appreciate it...
