I Have Improved The Way In Which

The Paintings By Van Gough And Chagall Had A Big Influence On Me.

I Studied For My Degree In London And Consequently Ended Up Spending Five Years Away From Cornwall. I Deliberately Moved Away From The Coast To Experience A Different Way Of Life.

The Most Amazing Thing To Me About The Sea Is The Tide. A Harbour Like St. Ives Is Totally Transformed In A Very Short Space Of Time By The Arrival Or Departure Of The Sea.

I Use A Wide Selection Of Colours. It Is Impossible To Produce Work Like Mine Using Only The Primary Colours As They Only Mix A Certain Range Of Colour.

I Still Take Photographs For My Own Use, Personal Studies. I Do Not Feel That I Can Fully Express My Views Through The Medium And This Is Why I Have Moved Towards Painting.
