I have always sketched and painted from early schooldays. The most vivid of images that continue to influence me today are the heightened chiaroscuro, almost theatrical, spot lit scenes from the brushes of Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio and Velasquez. On top of these influences came the surrealism of Salvador Dali, the art work of Roger Dean and the marine paintings of Ivan Aivazovsky. Furthermore, the music of Delius, Debussy, Pink Floyd and Moody Blues help to create the dreamscapes of my work.
