I'm interested in how paintings can change or transform - sometimes through close examination or viewed from afar; or how they hold the space of a wall or interact in a room with each other.

I am very invested in the physical activity and the decision-making that is involved with making paintings - nothing else is quite like it.

My studio work is a central part of my life and I'd be at loose ends without it. When I'm not in my studio, I don't stop thinking about painting.

Education, awareness and prevention are the key, but stigmatisation and exclusion from family is what makes people suffer most

I just want to make whatever is exciting.

Any daily activity can be used as an opportunity for meditation.
