Artist Statement

I make landscape paintings of places I know in Britain and in other parts of the world.  ‘Towards Malvern’ and ‘Wychavon Way’ are views from my Cotswold studio.  ‘Cove’ and ‘Sands’ are locations on the North Cornwall coast. To me, the process of making a painting is important.  Over time I apply many layers of paint with prominent brushstrokes so that the landscape subject matter is loosely defined.  I use a range of paint media to create rich colour harmony and a wealth of surface texture.  In its abstraction, I aim for my work to have the depth and resonance of the natural world: a certain wild place, a beautiful time of day or striking seasonal effect.
