I’ve been making art of one sort or another all my life. From drawing to photography, painting to crochet, abstracts to representational work.

I keep coming back to abstracts though, both in my photography (which I still do on occasion) and now in my painting. Much of my art is inspired by my natural surroundings, maybe because I spent many years taking photographs in the English countryside and on the coast.

My work generally takes a long time, a few days to weeks, depending on how quickly they resolve. Usually many layers of paint and various tools for mark making as well as removing some paint with a scalpel.

There is rarely a specific direction, it is intuitive and evolves as it will.

The naming of the work can sometimes take a while, coming to me either as I am creating or later when I’m contemplating, although I know not everyone sees what I see!
