Painting Poetry
I currently find myself in an exhilarating state of flux. Many changes are underway and I am fortunate that I see transition as a hugely stimulating experience. More of which later.
During and since my last exhibition 'Ill Invite the poets' the question keeps cropping up as to whether I write poetry myself. I have finally come across an appropriate answer to this question and had to share it.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.

I remain tight lipped, but my palette-knife is flashing.
