I am interested in exploring images, which arrest the eye and drawings and paintings that are arrived at spontaneously.
Working from life and landscape and also using inspirational photographs and drawings of people, landscapes and manufactured, made and built objects as a jumping off point. I like to push the source material to capture an atmosphere or mood visually echoing memories and emotions. My work emerges out of a landscape I may be working on and is a subconscious recognition of how the earth gives birth, nurtures, sustains and eventually reclaims the life on it.
