Artists Statement
Structure and surface have dominated my approach to painting over the years, and I create paintings that bridge both two and three-dimensional forms, bringing the illusionary aspect of both into play whilst allowing the language of colour and form to evoke an emotional response.
The shaped sections of many of the canvases can be perceived as both 'concave' and 'convex' as the external light source moves across the surface of the work, emphasising the transient nature of colour and light over edge and form, challenging the flatness of the painted surface.
My involvement with printmaking has influenced many aspects of my approach to painting with the utilisation of various print techniques and metallic surfaces that are sometimes incorporated into the work as found in my series of paintings inspired by areal views and cityscapes.
Paintings are shown both regionally and nationally and are held in both corporate and private collections.
Also exhibited at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and in group and solo shows throughout the UK and with several London Galleries and Leading Hotels.
