Celebrating 10 yrs of artweeks as a solo artist. I am inspired by coasts & landscapes to produce work for open studio events, local galleries & for commission. My aspirations when I begin a piece are to evoke a sense of place, I begin by immersing myself in an environment & If possible I will paint ‘en plein air’ to capture a really spontaneous and direct feeling. I revisit these places at different times of year to see how the changing seasons have affected the quality of light, the colours & textures. I experiment with mark making possibilities using a variety of palette knives & I am also interested in creating a surface which has different qualities when viewed close to & from a distance so the paintings are never static. Please don’t hesitate to contact me to arrange a viewing of recent work or to discuss a commission at any time.
