Nature
is a constant source of inspiration for my paintings.
I spend much time walking, drawing and taking
photographs in the landscape. Our environment is
fundamental to our existence, and I see it as my role as
an artist to celebrate and share a sense of wonder at the
natural world.
My
paintings give a sense of the evolution, the sublime beauty
and also the fragility of our natural environment; which
is particularly relevant at this time of climate change
through global warming. Rather than representing
specific places, my work evokes something of the
atmosphere and spirit of the landscape, enhanced
by the use of subtle and sometimes vibrant colour.
