Contrast, light and repetition also have an important role. Painting on silk is the ideal medium for the work that I produce at present and in many ways acted as a catalyst for my own development as a painter. I did feel that this was a measure of success. To be frank I feel that I have not yet produced my best work although I believe that I am moving nearer to attaining it. Running a business has been difficult.
Time is a major frustration.
I enjoy the challenge. After 15 years, Anglesey has become home for me. My family and friends live on the island. I grew up in California, and I have lived in the North of England, but here is where I am happiest. Ynys M n is a beautiful island and is very individual, i.e. it does not conform to a person's usual expectations.
