Feelings of longing, nostalgia and traces of childhood and the distant familiar are present while I create work. The blind contour drawing technique enables me to be part of the 'surprise' of the outcome, as I only see what I have created once the drawing is finished and I am ready to add colour. There is a unique, free flowing and daring quality to the work as a result.
In contrast, the very detailed pastel work I make requires control and deep concentration. I treat every detail as individual strokes of colour.
I also currently turn used and once loved children's books into envelopes.
I have recently moved from Plymouth, south-west England and currently reside in south-west Slovakia.
