This years sponsors gift for 2008

The creation of any artwork is a solitary process and it is all too easy to lose sight of the intention to express and communicate to others the things that drive and move you.

When it comes to showing my work, the experience is similar to laying your soul out for others to walk over - not always carefully - but I still do it.

I am fortunate to have friends that are prepared to contribute funds to help me show my work and help with the material expenses through the year.

Most had not seen a single painting when I approach them, only a brief outline and a few flailing arm movements. Some were unable to come to the private views but they still supported me.
