Review by Lisa Takahashi
'Like the landscapes of painters such as Bonnard, Derain and Van Gogh, there is a real sensitivity to colour – using colour to express real emotion; a careful selection of harmonious palettes that not only evoke a sense of place but also convey half lost memories, dreams, and wistful emotion.'
