ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Flowers have formed the basis of my work in various guises over the years. This is linked to my love of gardening. Plants and their flowers form a large and important part of the world. Medicines and food are but two of the things they give us. They are more to us than they seem at first to the casual viewer. They can be fragrant, fragile, bold, colourful, weeds in one place, treasures half way across the world to a collector. Their beauty cannot be copied. Without them we would not exist, so my paintings are a small tribute. They are how I see them, that is to say not just how they look, but also something of their character.
