Artist Statement:

'The process of looking for the pictures begins with sitting at the harbour, going to a race-meeting or sitting in a bar - waiting and looking for things to appear. I will take a sketchbook and occasionally a camera. Mostly I want a feeling for the place to sink in - this will provide me with as much information as any drawings I make.'
