Artist Statement

“Even after many years of drawing, painting, creating I still can’t classify my style. I find I work on impulse, the end product not necessarily in sight. The idea grows as the work grows.I like to experiment with various mediums; my favourites being charcoal and oil. Charcoal is raw and bold and almost takes over my hand when I pick it up. Where oil will teach me discipline and controls me.At the moment I am working on a series of charcoal drawings on fabriano paper. I draw my inspiration from the many people I have met in Africa"
