”My paintings are a response to my fascination with wild places that are always at the mercy of the elements, the power, and drama of waves, skies and the edge of land. My starting point is drawing /painting on site in all weathers to get down the essential energy of the place and moment , then these beginnings are developed into paintings on canvas in the studio using a mix of oil paint and other materials, to create works that has many layers that reflect the timelessness of these wild places and my response to them.”
