My paintings are born out of an excitement and amazement I feel from the art that surrounds us in our natural world. I love the way colours change, light shifts and shadows move… constantly changing throughout the course of a day, a season, throughout a lifetime. I am excited by patterns, by alliteration of colour and shapes that appear… the life and activity within those landscapes, be it a flurry of sails across an estuary, a flock of birds or simply the clouds and trees.
I wish to celebrate in paint, a sense of being alive, my energy, a freshness… and hope to encourage others to feel inspired by the beauty of our lovely planet.
Trying to interpret all this through paint is a continuous challenge, often frustrating, but when everything seems to be working with me, there is nothing like the feeling of applying paint to a board, moving it around and seeing something emerge which represents an image of what I had hoped to create.
For all enquiries, or if you are interested in purchasing a painting, please feel free to contact me via this site. I would also be happy to welcome you to view works in my studio here in Usk, Monmouthshire – by prior arrangement, should you wish to see paintings in the flesh.
