For
me, painting is a link with the outside world, connecting me with people
living on other continents. When I paint I can be in touch with events
that affect fellow human beings around the world. I can create order
in the inner turmoil some of these events provoke
and try to contribute positively by sharing and supporting inwardly in
a non-material, spiritual way through my work. Invariably, traumatic
world events have an influence on my painting since I never set out with
a particular subject in mind but let the painting develop of its own
accord. The basic human states and emotions are the same the world over
and painting is my participation in them.
