Over the years colours have been intuitively appearing in my work, I don’t choose them, rather they seem to choose me. Even more so with painting than books. Already before getting into making books, I tended to paint very colourful and with plenty of black. Recently it’s been mainly black, with a hint of red and gold… So I’m pleased to welcome back the colours – they’re inviting themselves back into my brush and onto the paper again. (Jun09)

With heart-felt thanks to those special individuals who have deeply inspired me in the past few weeks. I wish you all the best on your creative paths wherever they may lead.
