Teaching and lecturing in Art for 30years give little time for ones own work. However from early student days always had deep interest in contrast in nature of order & chaos, allied with a strong interest in structure ,texture and effect of light on natural surfaces. Nothumberland has all these things in abundance along with a strong tactile feel to the environment. I want my work to feel & look as natural as possible so use many materials embedded in the paint surface ie plaster,coaldust ,coloured sands driftwood & foils.Iaspire to the search for the "organically" natural configurations of things. Like searching for perfect wave or catching the perfect light .striving for a sensation of harmony
