My practice observes nature, land and light; my subject matter.. typically figurative and landscape.

I find great inspiration and complexity in the simplest of subject matter and compositional arrangements; whether landscape, figurative or still life.

My method involves attempting to capture my experience & memory of an object or place by employing visible brush strokes, bold architectural marks made with the palette knife, and contrasting tone and limited detail in my works. I love the way a deft movement of the palette knife can convey something so simply yet with such great impact, such as a wisp of cloud or the shape of a tree.

I am Associate Member of the Penwith Society of Arts (Penwith Gallery, St Ives).  My work is held in private collections nationally and internally, and a UK public collection.  Preferred materials include the traditional mediums of oil paint, watercolour, charcoal, pastel and graphite, for their intensity and ability to capture drama, texture, atmosphere and light.
