Creating a painting is a process of discovery for me. I work in acrylic, ink, oil and also use paper.
I want to paint the feeling of being present in a landscape at a particular point in time.
Maybe that time is not now. It may be a scrap of a memory or a fleeting glimpse of light and colour noted in a sketch and reworked later.
I try in my work to evoke a sense of place, to capture the feeling and essence of the landscape rather than re-creating it in paint. Returning to favourite childhood haunts and seeing them afresh has given my painting a new dimension allowing memories to combine with new sights and experiences.
My work has always been based on observation and drawing outdoors is fundamental to my working methods. I find more and more now that I want to retain the spontaneity of the initial impressions and sketches in the final pieces.
I enjoy experimenting with mixed media, creating surface and texture in the paintings through the use of collage, and varying the thickness of the paint from impasto to glazes. It’s a balance between the inspiration and reference point of the landscape and allowing the painting to gain its own identity.
