Contemporary abstract landscape painter

‘My work explores an emotional response to the environment and landscape I grew up in. Here I try to capture the essence of a place and memory of somewhere that’s held a particular fascination and connection for me. Immersing myself in the multi-sensory experience of this landscape, no two days are ever alike. The ever-changing light, temperature, season, and weather means that I’m continually exploring. Through sketches, photos, and memories I record these journeys into this landscape through perspectives, paths, structures, textures, and colours.
My paintings evolve over time, layer upon layer. Every new layer adds depth, each mark is evidence of what went before, each colour choice reflects the moment in which it was chosen, yet the history remains underneath, it glimpses through here and there and can be seen on closer inspection of the piece, drawing the viewer in. In this way, they do mirror life and the landscape that has inspired them.’
