Originally working as a representational illustrator, I became interested in art therapy, and began abstract and figurative paintings of the mind, using colourful, luminous oil paint, watercolour paint and mixed media. More recently I have been exploring meditation and art and self and identiy using photography, paint, text, mixed media and digital film. My work is in private collections in Europe and the USA.
