I work largely from memory and imagination. I am more interested in the inaccuracies of memories than by their precision, and so my work treads the borderline between dreams and reality. If a landscape interests me as a subject to paint, it is because it seems to touch upon an already existent inner landscape. My influences are too diverse to list sensibly. I am myself a mixture of diverse nationalities. My early years were spent in different countries, and the first art that I saw was in the Ajunta Caves of India, and it was in India 1963 that I realised my life would be spent painting; An intention that I have pursued to this day.
