Artist Statement
My main aim is to explore the use of layered colour and richness of paint to create rhythmic images within an atmosphere of movement and light - full of vitality and mood, some exuberant, others quiet and contemplative.
Wherever I am in the world I see many colours, tones, shapes that I put into the paintings. Each work is built up of these memories, developing over months or even years into a painting that I recognise, not of a place, but which becomes itself.
I use acrylic paints of all kinds - thick, fluid, spray, inks - on natural birch wood panels or sometimes thick paper. I like the birch wood grain which, as I begin work, I consider and which directs me each time I start a painting. Sometimes you see that grain in the finished painting which recalls the natural world which surrounds us and is a very important part of the work.
The process of creating a painting embraces not only technique but also layers of thinking, feeling and the contemplation of the work in progress. Inspiration and spontaneity is always necessary to complete a work that satisfies me.
Each moment we live we experience life through our varied senses, I hear the numerous sounds; noting the treble, the bass, the forte, the piano and the silence. I feel the rhythm, the pulse, the vibrations and the stillness. When I look at the countryside, an object, a figure, I see a harmony of colours, the shapes, the tones, the shadows. I absorb all these moments, culminating in a painting in an abstract form.
