Contemporary Abstract

'My paintings are a reflection on aspects of landscape, culture and the nature of being, inviting viewers into spaces that feel both familiar and open to interpretation.  

The works explore the social and cultural resonance of landscape through abstract painting processes which can be spontaneous but often develop and evolve naturally over a period of time.  

Although mainly painted in oil - acrylics, watercolours and mixed media techniques are used from time to time depending on surface, project or series.  

The choice of colour, paint and gesture are manipulated to emphasise the context of the work in the painterly space. 

I am influenced by early experiences with colour and textiles and a lifelong engagement with making.'
