"My final work, titled Daydream, includes a set of 3 major and 4 minor fantasy landscapes. Each a different landscape with a matching fantasy element. The series was done in oil paint with a variety of brushes and pallet knives on wooden boards and canvases.

Initially I was influenced by silk painting, a very distant medium from my end point. The flowing colours and gentle white outlines where calming, and you could get lost in the detail of the fabric. After some consideration, I knew I wanted to paint landscapes to present a gentle perception of the world and develop my own skill as an artist."
