"In my work I attempt to capture, in a very small way, some of the incredible beauty and diversity of God's Creation. I delight in the shapes, textures and colours around me in this amazing world, particularly under the sea. I enjoy using various techniques to express my vision of these images. I am grateful for the unique gifts that we all possess from our Maker and desire to use mine to honour Him".
