About

I work in both acrylics and oils, building up layers of paint as I work to reveal the complexities of textures and colour.

In my abstract workings, I explore narratives associated with what impacts us on our daily lives; this includes external events which may shape us and our relationships with others, and how these may impact our wider shared lives. My abstract workings are thus inspired by a vast spectrum of sources.

My landscape work typically starts in the natural environment with loosely sketched observations, preserving the emotions and movement around me. I then take those impressions into my studio to fully capture them on larger surfaces such as canvas and cradled board.

I feel a powerful connection to the outside world and to the ‘language’ of landscape. The way the landscape holds and conveys the same emotions and felt experience in our daily lives is the impetus and story behind my landscape work.
