“’Your painting cheers me every time I walk towards it. In such a difficult world it is good to find something which reaches deeply inside.’”
My paintings are often built of many layers, adding and removing paint, ink and other media, exploring memories of favourite places and elemental experiences through the language of colour, contrast and texture.
Perhaps because of this, my paintings often arrive at a ‘landscape’ - but not always; Occasionally they ‘contain’ life’s chaos, in vessels or geometric shapes and other times they allow for a sense of expansion, to rise above it.
I work from my studio in Warwickshire but parts of my soul are scattered along rugged coastal paths and the windy ridges of mountains and moors.
