Artist Statement & Biography

My creative process begins on location and takes the form of sketches and colour studies which I use to explore and record the interaction of shape and line between the natural and man-made environment. These studies are used as a working foundation for interpretation and translation onto canvas/board using oil or acrylic.

I enjoy using an expressionist approach rather than realist as I search and explore images that contrast and juxtapose shape, line and colour giving the viewer a means of adding their own interpretation.

My work has been exhibited in Edinburgh, Derby, Birmingham, Leicester, London, Athens and Honfleur.

In July 2022 I completed an artist residency awarded by the Trustees of Brisons Veor, St. Just, Cornwall, sponsored by The Arts Council.
