"My ultimate aim as an artist is to achieve higher acuteness and existence through painting (visual composition) and music (aural composition)".

"My work is primarily concerned with image-making/painting as the art of composition whereby the creative process is akin to musical or literary composition, and the produced artwork is visual composition as opposed to aural or lexical composition. In this sense, I regard my artworks as visual compositions inspired by music as well as being kindred to music".

"The creation and composition of visual elements (line, form, colour, tone, texture, mark, dot, space etc) forms the basis of all my work".

"My methodology involves automatic processes propelled by music, thus the resultant artworks can best be described as musically inspired manifestations of automatic creation, both in terms of process and product".
