“Inspired from an early age by the masters of Impressionism I have developed a style of painting that allows me to express my subject without oppressing the viewer. The reaction of the public to my work is crucial to me as I am intrigued about the individual’s response and this then informs and evolves my style of abstraction.
The majority of my paintings are landscape inspired. I work from either my photographic records or from memory, applying layers of colour to express objects, movement and light. My method is very time consuming and it takes many months to complete a painting because of the multiple layers of oil paint applied to each work. Titles are also very important particularly when abstracting work; the title can be the only thing that links the artist to the viewer and my titles only hint at the subject matter of the painting, giving the viewer the freedom to come to their own understanding.”
