Artist statement
Spending time in the natural world, walking, absorbing my surroundings before making expressive sketches to capture my feelings in the moment - these sketches inform larger paintings in the studio where I can work slower and considered in my mark-making.
Extended Bio
More about me and what inspires me to paint.
My inspiration is drawn from experience of landscape, the vastness of sublime locations across the UK and beyond. Finding solitary places providing time and space for reflection, musing almost meditating as I observe nature’s majesty. Spending time in the landscape alone permitting me to feel and respond emotionally is essential to me.
Working with gathered information and written notes made on location, merging them together with memory and thoughts leading to finished works in the studio.
