   ". . . At secondary school, there were, dotted around the corridors, prints of artists like Turner, Cottman and Constable. I was particularly drawn to the watercolours of Turner. These ‘drawings’ as they were called in the 19th century, seemed to excite me as I could still see the pencil lines. Watercolour was the medium that really inspired me, probably due to these early images and because it seemed to be a natural progression of drawing. . . "
