Paris 1984, the start of my journey not only into pure abstraction, and inspired by seeing and experiencing Wassily Kandinsky's works blown up into a huge scale! Also of not being afraid to work intuitively; in the beginning through drawing as a very immediate form of expression; and later with colour and form. Here are a few of the many works I have created.... from how I feel at the time... about things, life, events, what I see and interpret, what wants to come into being, what I imagine.
