''In a simple sense my paintings are realist scenes, interior and landscape, still life and portrait. They are my attempts at understanding the links between my sense of visual harmony and my emotional response to a scene. The paintings have become vehicles for examining and preserving the moments when the visual and emotional elements create a poignant dialogue. I look for paintings in the residue of time passing and falling quietly around, in silvery scenes containing the stillness following an event. Searching for an evocative landscape or carefully posing objects in a still life, have become processes of both questioning and defining my aesthetic. In the process of painting and creating the illusion of space, I pursue these moments when my aesthetic sense and reality converge.''
