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, using my distinctive palette of subtle and saturated colour, accented with passages of impasto brush work, palette knife and sgraffito textures.
My landscapes are generally begun en plein air. Recent locations include the Cornish Coast, the Yorkshire Dales,and Snowdonia. These are often developed into more semi abstract images in the studio.
Extensive world travel has led to my interest in ethnic and cultural subjects such as celebrations, festivals and the observation of women in society.
