I have enjoyed painting and drawing since childhood but I am largely self taught. I paint in order to see the world around me and to see how I feel on the inside. I like to imagine the people who designed the buildings I paint and wonder why they differ so much from each other. I also like to observe the movement and change inherent in trhe natural world. Until 2005 I pursued a career in neuropsychology. My work included, amongst other things, exploring the brain mechanisms used in visual perception, and in memory, including the representation of space in memory. So I have always had an interest in the way we see and remember the world.
