‘I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.’ ~ Rumi

A small selection that basically represents the period where I still fantasised about being a successful painter – working soul-destroying, dead-end jobs by day while spending beautiful, solitary nights in my studio. I sold a few works here and there although sadly not enough to sustain the dream. I am drawn to the work of traditional Chinese painters, such as Ma Yuan and Guo Xi, through to modernist painters from Klimt and Van Gogh to Kandinsky and Jackson Pollock, but not much after that era really speaks to me. In recent years, I have been focusing on writing and photography.
