Dramatic light and texture conjure up the feeling of real, remembered and imagined places
The art we choose to live with can connect with us on a deeply personal level, often through a particular colour, light or gesture that seems to ring true.
I’m increasingly intrigued by the connection between Nature and emotional experience, and how glimmers of light and ambiguous shadows can give form to a state of mind.
In my paintings, I aim to capture the feeling of being there — whether in an actual place, a more spiritual one, or both
I work mainly in oils, often exploring mixed media, cold wax and layered surfaces to build rich textures and push towards abstraction.
Working outdoors helps me capture my immediate responses to the landscape, which I then develop in the studio, often as a series. I enjoy exploring different approaches and possibilities.
I’m based in South Wales, UK and spend part of the year working in my studio in France. I exhibit regularly in solo and group shows and at art fairs, both locally and further afield.
