'Having traveled a lot I feel this has been the biggest education I have had in my life. As through traveling you gain an understanding of other people and their way of life. You are also able to experience a culture and see it first hand. It gives you the chance to see countries use of art, which I am sure, has influenced mine through colours and techniques. I was in India last year and the strong colours in both their art and day to day life has had a huge impact. A Religious Hindu day called Holi where people throw paint at each other was like standing in a painting and watch it come to life. I would watch people changing colour in front of my eyes. This year my work has been heavily influenced by this experience especially in two paintings called ‘Heroes and Villains’ and ‘Stag’. The festival was in my mind when creating these two paintings. Blurring the edges and giving them a dream like ethereal quality. Where people are there but almost seem like they are not. This was my experience of the festival.'
