Drawing, painting, printmaking

As a West London artist, a city landscape artist, inspired by the flux and flow of the natural world: the seasons, weather, water and light. My work is an experiment in capturing the constant movement of the River Thames, the Wye and the sea at Aberdyfi. I am most interested in charting where I live, seeing the topography, the continuance of the landscape shrouded by the city.

Most recently I have been concentrating on a series of paintings of the Thames, the seasons, the flowing tide and I want to capture and record it. This is what I see every day, my journey along the river. It is the City and yet not – the structure and symmetry of the riverside – architectural, regimented – planted by man: defying the wild and open beauty of the sky above, and always – the relentless tide.

Painting comes before words. And I intend that my paintings should be, in some part, be simply a gesture, sharing what I have seen.
