Biography

I make large scale paintings on canvas, working in an intuitive and expressive way. I hope that my work makes the viewer happy and brings a little colour into onlookers lives or homes.

inspiration

I am inspired by various subjects but mainly my work explores Still Life. Fine dining, the company of friends and shared meals provide lots of inspiration. The passing of time throughout the occasion and the way objects and vessels are used and moved create a variety of visual compositions to play with.
I also make paintings inspired by gardens as I love the organic qualities of flowers and foliage and usually after a holiday, I find I am drawn to making seascapes, usually with references to boats.

medium

I work with mixed media but mainly acrylic paint and collage. I build up layers and like scraping through again to reveal unexpected colours and textures. I often print onto the surfaces and like to use large brushes which make it impossible to create fine detail. I like the randomness of unexpected applications of paint.
