artist’s statement

I paint in response to being in the natural world, to seasonal change, growth and decay, to textures which form and shift in the light, to patterns, etched into the land by human activity. In the studio, these experiences are rediscovered through mark making and the layering of paint, a process that is worked and reworked, until meaningful resolution is reached. The wildness of nature is celebrated in the work and the need to connect with this, is what inspires the act of painting.

                       ‘I enjoy that each painting requires a level of engagement

                        from the viewer, but leaves enough space for personal

                        interpretation. I’m told my work brings feelings of calm,

                        and the chance to be still and reflect for a while.’

Notable exhibitions include the RA Summer Exhibition and the ING Discerning Eye, London. More recently, the Sussex Contemporary 2022 Brighton i360, and Meander; Land + Water, BN9 Studio, Newhaven, 2025.
