Biography
I
have been a painter for 25 years, and throughout this period my paintings have
been inspired by landscape and a sense of place. Landscape is integral to the
subject matter of my work, and it also provides me with the means to explore
connotations about the painting process. To me, painting is a similar
awe-inspiring parallel pursuit to setting out on a walk and exploring new
places. In the studio lots of things intrigue me; colour, spatial depth, mark
making, composition, accident, layering, scale inversion and the physicality of
paint. It is not my intention to replicate nature; I want to evoke a sense of
it. I want the viewer to search within my paintings, as I have within the landscape. I paint in a range of materials in particular Oil, resin and oil based mediums, on canvas.
