I work with my materials in an attempt to capture an essence of time and place. I am continually exploring the themes of memory and landscape within the context of modern abstraction.

The tension of opposites is a recurring theme throughout my work and how an image can be both expansive and contained within the same painting.

Hard edged shapes intersect organic and free forms. Luminous veils of paint are often pulled or poured across dark forbidding background and solid planes of neutral colour rest quietly against highly active, textured surfaces.

As part of my practice I am always gathering an ever growing codex of images culled from the internet to metabolise and obscure, from animal X-rays, satellite photos to fauna and architecture.

Whilst my work is highly personal and linked to my own experiences, I hope it expresses a wider universal connection. The paintings could be seen as a response to the changes occurring in the natural world and what these might mean for us in these challenging times.
