“When you look at an abstract painting, you can see nothing, or you can see it all - it's either for you, or it isn't!”

Many of my paintings are about good and evil - innocence and malevolence. When I was a child I remember believing what a wonderful and happy place the world was. I loved to learn about other people in other countries and wanted to visit them all. Of course, I now realise things aren't quite as I once imagined, and the once distant places where I so wanted to be are not so far away; they are actually on my doorstep. The world is a place where the innocent pay the heaviest price. It affects me deeply. It's like living in the garden of Good and Evil. I can't ignore it, so I depict it in the form of these innocent pictures. I leave it to the individual to look at my paintings and choose what they would like to see, innocence or malevolence - the ‘good' or the ‘evil' This is where I draw a connection between these paintings and my abstract paintings. I would like you to see whatever you see! You get the most from a painting if it connects with you.
