“Painting is extremely personal.  I attempt to approach painting in a broad, abstract way, and deal with the entire canvas, not just parts of it.  Hopefully, a painting should develop as a whole in terms of colours, form and relationship.  It is not so much what you paint as how you see the things you choose to paint and the excitement you feel in them.”
