I paint bold, interpretations of the natural world, capturing its instinct, beauty…its frenzy and tranquillity.
My work is a celebration of nature and an evaluation of how it has continued to influence my life since childhood.
You will find the sky and birds feature in all of my paintings…as a symbol of ultimate freedom.
The thought of being truly free, without boundary or limitation, is something which I find utterly exhilarating…and it is this aspiration which has shaped my style of painting.
Exploring the concept of freedom within my art practice lead me to dispense with reference photos.
I started painting from memories, emotions and desires more so that literal images.
Every one of my paintings takes me on an all consuming journey through my imagination. Connecting reality with fantasy, I strive to capture the magic of nature and transmit this to the viewer through, rich colour palettes, varied textures and contrast in light and dark.
The paintings will draw you in lead you on a journey around the canvas, stopping to pick up all the intricacies along the way.
In order to keep the story of the painting alive even after it has left the studio, I write it on the back of the canvas.
The viewer will always find their own interpretation of a piece, but the artist’s intention will always be on hand if they wish to read it.
