My paintings reflect a continued interest in capturing and expressing the innate qualities in the landscape. I am influenced by both natural and industrial environments and how they have been altered and reshaped over the passing of time.

 

Inspired by memories of familiar places, a season, the weather or through a response to a particular light or sense of place I make sketches, photos and collages to record any initial observations and use them as a starting point to develop my paintings.

 

I do not have a fixed image in mind when I start, preferring to let the imagery develop and evolve in an experimental and intuitive way.

 

I use a process of layering and subtracting to invent new compositions and continually redraw, adjust and edit in a desire to achieve a balance of colour, form, texture and composition.
