Artist Statement 2006

No Poet, no Painter can ever fully capture all that is contained in the landscape. In fleeting moments when our pride takes a grip we feel we have it - we've got it, but then the landscape merely changes and invites us further in. The landscape surely is a reflection of the divine. It is eternal.

As a humble Painter I can only stand in awe, in reverence before it and merely scratch at its surface.

The fleeting light and shadows are divine whispers to us. We only have to sit in silence and listen. Everyone has their own way of swimming in the landscape. Mine is to try to reflect it on canvas.

I dedicate this exhibition to Angela and Rebecca who generously gave me the time and space to present you with my 2006 collection.
