Statement


I enjoy getting out into the landscape and experiencing the elements that shape it.  I like to gather sensory information on location through sketching, painting, photography and writing to take back to my studio where I seek to get the image out of my ‘eye’ and onto the canvas.

My painting is a process of sensory map making - how the landscape is glimpsed:  the light and colours; the textures and feeling; the smell - all of which contribute to the visceral portrayal of a sense of place.  My paintings are often accompanied by original prose poems which augment the painting’s experience.
