My paintings are not literal interpretations of a view but an expression of my experience being in the landscape. I aim to distil the essence of a location and evoke a sense of place which I hope will find a connection with the viewer. I paint almost always in mixed media, which is often a combination of acrylic paints, pencil, charcoal, water soluble crayons and oil pastel. I enjoy using expressive brushstrokes, scratches and drawn lines and have a real passion for colour.
I have exhibited my paintings widely in contemporary galleries throughout the UK (including the Mall Galleries in London) and my work is held by collectors both in the UK and overseas. Based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, I am a member of Welland Valley Art Society and also show my work at Stamford Arts Centre. Visitors to my studio are welcome by appointment.
