'Dahlia's are one of my favourite flowers in the garden. They are so varied , they come in all shapes and sizes, and are completely beautiful. I love their colour and boldness, and they way that they stand up straight. Flowers have a theraputic effect on people, and have the power to lift our spirits and heighten our feelings of life satisfaction.

This painting resonates with me for it's immediacy and mark-making. I made it with intense control and gesture, working quickly on the chalky absorbant surface of the prepared gesso panel.'
