“The sheer joy of painting is what brings me to my easel every day, be it cosy in my studio painting a colourful jug of flowers, or outside in a warm, sunny garden or the middle of a field of bright sunflowers. My love for the subjects I choose to paint, the vibrant colours on my palette, and the bold expressive brush strokes, come together to create a celebration of light and the fleeting poetry of a moment.”
