 “In the studio I am mixing colour, working on canvas,
creating from the inside out, breathing the smell of the paint,
broadly drawing lines and filling spaces, creating images,
translating emotions.
Painting, is for me, a physical act that transforms internal dialogues.”
I make contemporary paintings on canvas in oil and acrylic, often using text and printed paper.
My interests and influences include mythology, literature urban graffiti folk art, graphic/design elements
and colour, whether restricted to subtle harmonies or bold juxtapositions.
Working with acrylics in the early stages of a work speeds up the painting process, often producing accidents/challenges I can respond to and incorporate into the final work. The freedom and loose qualities of the acrylic stage keep the paintings fresh and immediate.
I work in series of related paintings exploring themes that have included the North Norfolk landscape, liver disease, Jenny Holzer’s truisms and mythology - Native American and Greek/Roman.
I exhibit locally from my studio and group shows, I have been selected 9 times since 1986 for the East Anglian Open. For Salthouse 05 and Salthouse 10.
