My passage as an artist is a source of wonderment and a great joy. I have been exploring emotions, feelings and discovering an ability I never knew I had.  I am a watercolorist but visually my work has little connection to traditional watercolour. It is strong, vibrant and textural.  The texture is achieved solely with the extravagant use of the watercolour, no additional material is involved.

I have been lucky enough to find a mentor within the society who I turn to for support, guidance and lots of encouragement to find my own artistic path.  My work does not replicate the visual world although I am inspired by what is around me.

In June 2007 I travelled to the US for a two-week course and met a group of the most friendly and welcoming fellow artists. Here I gained confidence in the actual application of the paint, the unrestrained and pure joy in the use of colour, in not being afraid to experiment and challenge the 'rules' on the use of watercolour or on how to 'construct' a painting.  

Much of my work is figurative although my portfolio is developing. I plan to visit the US again in 2008 to continue my artistic journey.
