"I am interested in myth, ancient landscape which remembers humans and the sea. I was trained at Aber Ysgol Gelf as a painter and have slowly learnt composition.

Painting is sacred, that is, it holds the possiblity of a deeper meaning beyond the subject. I am looking for that thing which lies or hides under the ordinary. Sometimes I find it, but most times it finds me."
