My work as an artist references the ever-changing outlines of the landscape. Bold gestures exude energy and movement and my paintings are often on a large scale.

My abstract paintings contain a real sense of place, inspired in equal measure by the South Downs, where I spends a lot of time, and the hustle and bustle of London where I have lived for many years. The amalgamation of these contrasting environments is often reflected in my work. From this there is an obvious process of deconstruction and reconstruction. For me the act of painting is a continuous process always changing, always taking away, to create something new. This is an integral to my practice and what I consider representational of our disposable society.

My work is a combination of paintings and sometimes prints. Both complement each but are not reliant on each other in the process of layering and the exploration of mark making. Prominent in my work is the strong use of colour both in intensity and in vibrancy. The use of fluorescent colours that often spar with each other capture the essence of the landscape, while the thin translucent layers, showing traces of what has gone before, enhance the feeling of transience.

More recently I have created a new series of work based on a trip to India where I visited both the North and the South. In the North I was blown away with the intensity of colour and the vibrancy of the cities. The South in comparison more muted and subtle in colour so unexpected.
