Operating in abstraction is the most direct and authentic form of artistic expression for me, flowing from my subconscious mind and soul space. The task is to blindly trust, surrender, and allow the creative channel to flow through me as an open vessel. I always return to my childlike state, where magic transpires through meditative strokes and splashes that expose my vulnerabilities and authorise me to express myself freely. It takes a great deal of courage to expose my flaws, but the satisfaction of creating the works and seeing the ultimate result on my paintings is profoundly therapeutic.
