The main subjects in my paintings are parrots in clear colours.
Having brought up five parrots of my own, I have had the opportunity of seeing these birds in detail in each stage of their upbringing. I found this very interesting, and it inspired me to paint them, their development is something I try to portray in my paintings.
I even paint landscapes. My inspirations derive from the environment surrounding my summerhouse, which is both in the country and by the sea.
