In 2004 I started working with my left hand, although I am right-handed, and found an amazing connection with myself. My nature seemed to be synchronised with my creativeness emanating from the use of my left hand. Consequently, I have never used my right hand again for my creative endeavours and even write my poetry with my left hand. This has been a blessing for me and I now relish my work as it guides me in my life and helps me to make sense of my own reality.

In my work I try to explain the existence of the soul… ... the truth of who we are ... the spiritual spark that animates the body... this body is of course temporary but the soul exists eternally beyond this life ... the animals I choose are random but most of my paintings I have the subjects looking at you and making a personal connection... the eyes being the ‘window to the soul’ from there I extrapolate into why we are here and how we are connected to this material realm and beyond that the cause of all this.
