About
My work is mainly associated with with colour in paintings of nature’s dynamism documenting my path through the landscape. I want my paintings to demand a respect for nature through exploration of its inescapable beauty and untameable ferocity. I work predominantly with oils and charcoal using photos as source material. The photo is discarded after a couple of layers allowing the paint to dictate each colour and stroke as it responds to its adjacent.The painted object then overtakes the subject matter.
