3. If you could have any work by any artist to hang on your wall who or what would it be?
It would have to be Barrie Cooke Megaceros Hibernicus ………but it you are offering a ‘buy one get one free deal’ I would also choose the Basil Blackshaw Fighting Cock.

4. What would you describe as art and not-art?
I believe art should have meaning, it should pass a message. This message can be ideas or emotions - how do we feel when we paint a picture. To me, it is an escape from life, it is a place away from this world. Art is observation and interpretation. It is how one sees the world. Art is extraordinary as you pore your feeling and passions into the painting. Every little piece of art has a story. No matter how small it is every work carries a piece of the artists story with it.
5.Who would your ideal collector be?
I suppose my ideal collector would be anyone who collects my paintings, has a passion for them and who collects because the paintings has meaning to them.
