  • Quote about artistic inspiration

    ‘J.M.W. Turner’s, A mountain scene, Val d’Aosta.  This painting taught me about the value of light and how tone can have a profound impact on the way artwork is enjoyed. This painting made me aware of just how incredible photography can be as a way to explore the world.  When I first saw this painting in the early 1990s, I had an interest in art, but it was slightly misguided, in need of some kind of clarity. This painting provided that clarity. ‘
