Artist Statement:
Due to an injury in sustained earlier this year, I cannot pursue my love of gardening and personally looking after my environment, so the next best thing is to paint it! I paint on recycled materials (metal, MDF, restored furniture) anything that can be loved and used again. I paint to brighten up gardens and walls. I paint to restore colour and appreciation of living things.
