Artist Statement:
I paint in oils using a
contemporary impressionistic
style. I specialize in
natural landscapes; however I
also paint urban landscapes
and still life subjects.
I take a lot of my inspiration
from nature, from the feelings
of grandeur that move me when
I’m exploring a wilderness or
a green space closer to home.
I am also inspired by other
artists, living or dead,
famous or unknown. I am drawn
in particular to the works of
Canada’s Tom Thomson and
William Heaton Cooper from my
native UK.
My aim in each work is to
engage the viewer through the
use of composition and choice
of subject. My style is rich
in movement: I believe a
painting is imbued with the
energy of the artist through
the brushwork. I endeavour to
capture the quality of light,
colour and values of the
moment in a creative
interpretation. This compels
the viewer to explore the
piece more fully in order to
comprehend it emotionally as
well as visually. Hopefully
this process enables them to
enhance, in some small way,
their outlook on the world
around them.
Painting is a multi-faceted
process, but for me two
distinct areas stand out as
deserving ...
