"I prefer for my art a simplified figurative style with strong abstract pattern. Particular influences are primitive art, the artists of Europe in the early 20th Century and contemporary design. I enjoy the direct visual pleasure of composing shapes, colours and patterns, looking for an individual picture of the world I see around me."
