I worked most of my life as a “serious” photographer: Projecting images in grey scale onto silver paper and manipulating their intensity for effect. I also worked in colour photography, but mostly as a commercial printer. The process of adding and subtracting colours to get different results was intriguing. A few years ago I started working in colour for myself through painting. Acrylics are so satisfying – not like the painstaking process of traditional photography. Painting gets you results as soon as you make a brush stroke. It has been a liberating experience.
