As my work progressed through the years, I became involved in new and exciting influences, some indeed more abstract than my own painting style. Although I continued to paint in the realist style I had become accustomed to, eventually some elements of those new influences manifested themselves within my work.
By the end of the nineties I felt the urge to break away from the more conventional style into a more personal and individual methodology in order to differentiate my work from any other artist's work!
