‘Painting in oils from observation, imagination and memory, my work pays homage to the exquisite wonders of nature and the human spirit. My paintings are often autobiographical, delving into memory and reflecting my state of mind. I seek to convey the heartfelt succour that nature gives to loneliness and solitude. My paintings are songs to felt-sensations experienced in nature, they are odes full of gratitude and respect to the landscape and the natural world.
My practice is fundamentally concerned with the poetry of colour. I explore what happens when two colours meet, how they dance side by side and what occurs at the borderline. Understanding colour is essential to my creative process, each hue sings and resonates with its neighbour, creating a rhythm within the composition. Every one of my paintings expresses a personal approach to the dynamic articulation of colour, and this ravenous enquiry results in works that are exuberant and deeply expressive.’
