The landscape has always fascinated me; the physical features and the impact of weather conditions is an obvious element, but more vital to me is the effect being in a place has on me, both as an artist and a person. I absorb the ‘feel’ of a place and return to the studio often with a real feeling of resonance and an appreciation of ‘place’. While I may work from photos initially, I strive to capture the essence of a location. In this respect I am very much influenced by Monet (‘never forget the first impression by which we are moved’) but also Turner, Howard Hodgkin and Cy Twombly. Resulting work veers towards the abstract as I work with layers of acrylic to build up rich textures.
I often find it a challenge to remain subtle as I’m drawn to a more intense and vibrant palette. Visits around the British Isles, France, California and India have been truly inspiring, and it’s always rewarding to work to commission and rise to the challenge of realising other people’s visions and memories. I work to a range of scales from gift cards to over 1m x 150m with prices starting from £4.
