Biography

My art reflects my lifelong love of open spaces, explored under changing skies, surrounded by the diversity of nature. I know the places I paint intimately and visit them frequently, taking time to observe and marvel at the complexity of nature.

I have built a mental map of specific tress, favourite places and an understanding of the the lie of the land, recording a sense of moving through the landscape.

inspiration

Memory plays a part too, a free range childhood, love of Ladybird books, Observer books and the school nature table. All these influences bring a sense of nostalgia to my use of colour and choice of subject.

I find solace in nature and in a fast paced world of sometimes chaotic change, the soothing natural pace of rural spaces is increasingly important.

medium

I work in acrylics, my paintings are realistic using vibrant colour to capture the landscape and convey a strong sense of time and space.
