For most of my life I suppressed my creative urges. Having successfully pursued a career in a technical industry I felt that I could not longer carry on withholding my latent creative urges and a near fatal road accident late in 2005 was the catalyst for to me becoming a painter and now a sculptor as well.
My landscapes are inspired by places, memories and emotions. My view of my local Derbyshire landscape is often stormy, rainy and indistinct. People, buildings and other details rarely feature in the work, as I prefer to allow the voices of hills, sea, rain and light to speak for themselves.
I use the inspiration of my local Peak District location but my paintings are never literal reproductions or copies of the landscape. I do not not paint in situ and reject the convention of painting in this traditional manner. As a result you will not find him trekking across the wilderness with a rucksack full of paints ! Instead I visit locations, wait, absorb the atmosphere and the rest comes later, from inside at the studio.
