During the Covid pandemic I started painting on wood panels. The grain of the wood told me where to apply the paint. At first I used acrylics and then started to use gouache paint. I started painting organic shapes. It was interesting to see what was going to emerge next, which was a return to landscapes and nature with a touch of surrealism. I want people to look at my work and wander around the painting and make their own discoveries. Martha Graham said: “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action… It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open…”
