“I continue to enjoy the rendition of landforms, now extending my repertoire into the outback, where the accent is on horizontality and micro patterning. This is such a contrast to my first years of painting the variety of sculptured New Zealand landforms, which was a wonderful training ground.There is always the escape into abstract with the tremendous freedom and challenge of allowing the elements of line, mark,form,colour, tone and texture to ‘teach’ the creating hand. The secret is for me to tap into the innate awareness we all share so that the viewer can relate a painting to their own experience.”
