ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My artwork can be described as Contemporary Figurative Painting.

 I work expressively and intuitively directly onto linen canvas in oils and mixed media using a wide variety of painterly colourist techniques.

Paintings and drawings are built up with layers of gestural mark making, juxtaposing subtle and saturated colour, accented with passages of impasto brush work, palette knife and sgraffito textures. Lately, I apply paint much more thinly, linking watercolour methods with oils.

I work en plein air whenever possible so I can respond directly to the spirit and atmosphere of a place.  Recent locations include the Cornish Coast, the Yorkshire Dales,and Snowdonia. 

Back in the studio, the finished painting often leads to other more semi abstract developments. Last month my mentor for my Masters Degree, Tony Eyton RA pointed out that abstraction would come to me out of the initial figurative response, and thrillingly, that's the way my current work is developing.

Extensive world travel has led to my interest in ethnic and cultural subjects such as celebrations, festivals and the observation of women in society, so I was delighted to be selected for the Biennial WOMEN IN ART FAIR at the Mall Galleries in October. (see above).

Here's a sample of a few of over 200 plein air watercolours and oils  done on location, being developed for publication soon with accompanying amusing anecdotes. See in my blog for a few further examples.
