\"My work is about exploring our connection to the land. My intention to capture feeling and emotion inspired by landscape, be it a glimpse of a night garden, the curve of a lake’s edge or the tumbling lines of an allotment, and it is this emotional response that is in mind when paint is applied, so horizons blur and colour saturates to create an abstracted memory.
I work in an intuitive, spontaneous way, using broad gestural movements, layering the paint to build a sense of tension between the history of what lies beneath the earth and what is surface. This allows a painting to evolve, breathe and conclude in a way that reflects the slow but ever changing characteristics of the land; the imprint left by human and elemental forces.\"
