I tell stories in watercolours, ink, oil or words. My sense of light arises from a Zimbabwean childhood. I build paintings from observation, then venture into what I imagine I see. I am interested in that moment just before something happens, or afterwards. My buildings are wonky, my figures are often lost in bafflement, my portraits are not intended to look like the people who sit for the portrait but hold something they are dreaming or thinking. I work in all media and on all structures, including walls, abandoned pottery from Charity shops, cars, or anything that will hold paint. My present work is a reaction to this upside-down world, a way of letting light through the cracks.
