Reviews

"The seeming variety of painting styles, at one point representational and then at another so abstract. Also the use of color is right on. Vivid in the more abstract landscapes and then more subtle and unexpected in the cityscapes" Jack O'Neill, Elm Hill Gallery, Houston. "The drawings and sketches appeal to me personally" Hope Daniels, editor, American Style;Stunning open moorland landscapes' Artseen Newsletter, Devon.
