ABOUT
For the past 10 years, my life has been Nomadic. I have been travelling extensively, exploring new places and experiencing new cultures. I have made many extraordinary journeys and I particularly enjoy remote, wild, natural spaces.
I make artwork in response to these diverse, inspiring places and I often work outdoors. There have been many challenges in learning how to make work ‘on-the-road’, often in tough, transient conditions.
Landscape is the inspiration for much of my work. I love to be in nature, immersed in the environment and the view. My paintings are spontaneous and often a subconscious, multi-sensory record of what I experience about a place. I make marks in a quick, visceral, expressive way.
Patterns and lines etched on the land by human activity are a constant inspiration. I respond to natural shapes and the more formal elements of field patterns, waterways, tracks and footpaths. Each place, that I aim to record having its own character, form, line and colour.
I make drawings, paintings, prints and collage in a range of media, mostly on paper.
