Welcome to my art page.
l enjoy creating in diverse styles and embrace the said work on the day, mostly working 'alla prima', all in one go. I approach each work as an exploration of intuitive mark making by using various materials through the processes of drawing and painting.
I prefer not to work from a photo reference, rather to work from memory and sense of place, or use direct observation of still life subjects as a starting point to develop and realise a work.
When painting outdoors, 'en plein air', taking inspiration from the landscape around me, I enjoy using available light and the mixing and matching of colour temperature as I see it.
I have a strong background working with glass as an artistic medium, (painting with glazes, engraving line, etc) with one-off decorative and functional art pieces enjoyed by many collectors worldwide. I have however, shifted my art practice entirely to working on 2D surfaces such as paper, canvas and timber as a means of exploration of line, form, colour and story.
Thankyou for your interest in my work.🙂
