LANDCSAPES
My pastel landscapes are a celebration of the living natural world. I want to share with others the same sense of delight that I experience when looking at the world around me. I try to achieve this by giving my subjects a rich surface texture, freely painted, yet true to nature. The tapestry of mark making and the illusion of realism are like the world around us – a constantly changing blend of order and chaos.

SURREAL
Its not just dreams that are fragments of memory all mixed up; memory works in the same way in our waking life. In my surreal work I link various bits of memory, re-ordering the chaotic pieces into an alternative whole, another reality. The later Deluge series sees the addition of ambiguity to the mix – these paintings pose not only the question : why are these things positioned together? But also : what are they?

FIGURE
The figure and dance pictures try to show something more in people than their outward appearance. We are not superimposed onto a background in our daily lives, we operate within our world and the world affects us. In my figures the background or life-context flows with and through the figures, adding a sense of time, movement and belonging.
