Largely self-taught with a minimum of formal training, I am an eclectic artist, exploring a wide range of techniques and mediums, attempting to capture the essence of subjects I choose from both natural and human experiences. My work is deeply influenced by various artists whom I admire but the final product frequently results from a series of happy accidents, often far removed from my initial thoughts and planning but always focused on exploring conjunctions and dissonances between colour and texture.

Layering of paint, whether acrylic, watercolour, pastels or oils, enables me to capture moments and internal experiences, blending abstract forms with emotional depth. According primacy to colour - using colour to find form instead of using more recognisable forms to find the colour - enables me, I feel, to bridge the gap between thought, emotion and physical representation. At all times I try to explore and delight in the endless capacity of paint to capture and illustrate thoughts and experiences in abstract form. My focus often embodies societal as well as personal themes.

Combining a wide range of techniques from intricate ink line work to expressive paint layers often results in abstract yet deeply affective emotional compositions. Blending mixed media approaches with bold organic forms, while varying the tools employed to apply the paint, hopefully lures the viewer into engaging with both the process and the topic being explored. Several of my paintings use photographs I have taken as the initial source but by extending the lines in the single 2D image captured by the camera lens, different facets are explored enabling the viewer to see beyond the original image.

I relish the luxury of the opportunity of being able to devote time and energy to producing art that I hope others will respond to enjoy. I have exhibited frequently across a number of small London galleries and my works are held in private collections in France and USA as well as in the UK.
