" I love colour, it attracts me, stopping me in my steps at times. Bright shiny objects distract me, colour penetrates my artwork and inspires me. Whether man-made or from the natural world I can’t imagine a life without colour. Colour brings joy and soul and can evoke memories and emotions. In this piece ‘Vivid’ I have collaged a kaleidoscope of snapshots that have inspired and fed my soul."
