I am interested in texture and shape making in the act of painting. My landscape pieces focus on the “un-picturesque”, where I look into the dark recesses of old piers and bridges. These constructions are emotive territory for exploration. I like to utilise their planes and surfaces to draw the viewer into the image, exploring the colours and textures of the structures. Rather than the simple process of recording the scene I respond to the ambience and atmosphere. I work mainly in oils because the paint lends itself to achieving subtlety and depth of colour through the layering of paint.
