Welcome to my online studio
My passion for painting stems from a lifelong fascination with the landscape. The mysterious beauty and power of nature is a continual motivating influence on my work.
Fleeting glimpses of gardens, segments of architecture, vessels and water conjure fragments of memory and emotion, speaking of spirit of place. Relationships fuel my imagination. I am absorbed by a textural visual discourse which evolves through the painting process.
I view painting as an ongoing unfolding practice where sincere expression triumphs over correct representation. My interest in signs, symbols and traces of the past has led me to explore a new series of work based on how ideas, information and experience are fused and dispersed.
I am intrigued with the concept of maps and the practise of charting one′s course especially the link between connection and separation. My latest works are inspired by the Japanese aesthetic wabi-sabi which is centred on the acceptance of transience – a beauty that is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
