'The envelope was the product of my subconscious looking for something that made me aware. It came out the hippie 60s - peace - love and for the first time there had been a move to the Eastern philosophies - the Beatles and the Maharishi.
Yin and Yang summed up something I didn’t know.
When I painted my first envelope, I sat with the brush in
my hand and I knew that it had to come from my brush, not my thoughts.
I went on to paint about eight envelopes and then on to paint another two series, but I could not get back to the place I had been for the first and they weren’t as good. I couldn’t do them anymore because the emotion behind them had gone.
A painting that I am satisfied with is one that comes from my heart.'
