“Artist tirweddau ydwyf yn fy hanfod ond mae dylanwad haniaethol ar fy ngwaith.

Mae grym corfforol symud paent o gwmpas tra’n ceisio dal y teimlad o amser a lle yn fy nghyffroi.

Mae corfforolrwydd cerfluniol toriadau Lino a’r broses argraffu ddilynol hefyd yn ffordd hyfryd o rannu profiad o dir a môr, nid bob amser yn lle penodol ond eto’r ‘ymdeimlad o le’ hwnnw. Mae'r llawenydd o rwygo a thorri papur i greu gludweithiau cyfryngau cymysg greddfol ond wedi'u coreograffu hefyd yn cynnig rhyddid mynegiant aruthrol, yn debyg iawn i ddawns ar bapur."

“Essentially a landscape painter I do however draw on the thinking and working practice of Abstract Expressionism

The sheer physicality of moving paint around whilst trying to capture a sense of time and place is what excites me.

The sculptural physicality of Lino cuts and subsequent printing process is also a wonderful way to share an experience of land and sea, not always a specific place but again that ‘sense of place’. The joy of tearing and cutting paper to create intuitive yet choreographed mixed media collages also offers a tremendous freedom of expression, much like a dance on paper.
