ARTISTS STATEMENT
"I work primarily in paint - oil and acrylic with some watercolour. I work on board, paper and canvas generally up to A3 size. I often work in series. Exploring and experimenting with paint and within a theme is important to me. My paintings at the moment lie
somewhere between figurative work and semi abstraction using colour and compostion.
Since childhood, colour has been my constant joy particularily when painting. I am fascinated by the use of colours found in textiles and other artefacts.
Often the natural world of plants and animals can be an inspiration for my work. I also use it to explore themes that fascinate me such as memory and dreams. The imagination and subconscious is very important to me. Often in my work there is a psychological aspect which can be autobiographical.
I love to draw especially with the simplicity of a pencil but charcoal is a fast medium that works well for me. My style has an immediacy that suits this. Some of the work has a graphic quality, so during the year i will often make a few prints. I have explored all printing processes but i think i probably like etching the most."
