“I thought it would be interesting to see if I could paint these animals from memory. You’ve got to trust your instincts and what you know. “All I’ve ever wanted is to develop a style and build an audience, and I’ve developed a style that is totally unique to me. I don’t need to sign my work as people will still know it’s mine. “I’ve heard that abstract expressionist painter, Jackson Pollock, said that if he planned a painting, he’d never make a mark. My work depends on spontaneity and a free association. I don’t really need an inspiration, I just do it. “I love the part in every painting when I’ll stop and think ‘what’s going on here?’. This is where a lot of people give up but I don’t - I enjoy the battle. The more I can throw down and the more abstract the shapes are, the more enjoyable the battle is, and the more uncomfortable I am making the piece, the better the end result.”
