Artist Statement:
Much of my work is abstracted from memory and imaginings. Vibrant and colourful still lives and landscapes in a semi-abstract style result. My paintings develop from initial ideas of landscape or objects, and through colour and texture become realisations of an idea of place or subject.

I am constantly entranced by colour, and try to engage the eye with purity of tone and value. I enjoy the quality of the paint itself, particularly when combined with a medium for texture or additional body. The use of other media enhances texture and contrast.

* Sunflower Gallery Beaconsfield Autumn 2005.

Art forms used:
