My painting is all about depicting mood and intimacy within a moment, always experimenting to discover new techniques within mark making. My application of paint often appearing abstract when close up then slowing becoming realistic as one distances themselves from the canvas. This abstract realism can be quite magical and a way of strategically leading the viewers eye around my composition, I find it fundamental in creating the illusion of depth within my paintings.
I am constantly developing my style, experimenting with my approach to using paint, exploring and creating as many variations of mark making as I possibly can. Whilst doing this I am very conscious of my colour considerations and the moods that these colours evoke when placed next to each other.
