Drawing...Study, 
2013-2015. Dimensions: 70 x 110 cms. Oil paint on board with collaged fragments of photographic images (taken by me). While technically a painting with constructed elements, I consider it as drawing, studying, layering. This kind of work is an ongoing study that could continue into three-dimensional space.

Concerto, 2015-2016. Dimensions: 160  x140 cms. Oil on canvas with original music score for piano composed by Phil Toy (in progress).

This work explores tradtional. although random, mark-making decorative display and 'windows', while introducing Chance as a major component. This element occurs in that I do not play any instruments nor do I read or write music, nonetheless I am composing......

The Concerto, when complete, will be played by professional pianists in a performace including visual works.
