I enjoy working in, and often combining, a wide range of painting and print media. I explore a range of styles and approaches to picture making depending on the subject matter and what I’m trying to express about it.
Recent inspiration has come from woodland and coastal environments where I try to capture a sense of place, often reconciling opposing elements – stillness/movement, stability/change and the fusion of light and dark, form and space.
