I found Topanga by mistake, and have lived here ever since, moving to the house next door, surrounded by old basalt rock and wild natives. One is the tree, the blossom of which I have fallen in love with and constantly paint frivolously.

I also learned to scuba dive and, originally born on the English coast, this gave me great enjoyment and loads of gorgeous images to develop in my studio, sometimes abstractly. It also gave me the chance to travel, not as a tourist exactly but as someone lucky enough to discover unknown places near to beautiful reefs.
