STATEMENT
Creativity and transformation is my purpose. I am dedicated to creating beautiful art about island life. I spend as much time as possible in the sea, by the sea or in my art studio which has a sea view. Interwoven throughout my contemporary seascapes are themes on conservation, pollution, protection and strategies for a better future.
