Original artwork description:

Picasso and Dali inspire me; their art is instantly recognisable and resonates with my own impulsive creation of art in its abstract form.

Once I have an idea, I paint quickly and don't want to stop, but sometimes I have an idea and start. I have a blank canvas, an idea, my paints, brushes palate knife ready. I see something in the canvas, an image I don't know where it comes from, but I see it as plain as daylight. It's a bit like Michelangelo's quote, "I see an angel and carve it from marble."

I get a lot of my inspiration from many artists; Claude Monet with his use of colour, his expressiveness, detail and the softness of his beautiful paintings; Vincent van Gogh with his bold use of colour his expressiveness, and I like to think I’m a little impulsive like him, and Lowry unbelievable he produced the work he did just using five colours.
