My work is a reflection on my surroundings in that I’m trying to find a sense of place through the act of painting. I try to find moments that resonate and that also produce a harmony which calls me to respond to them. In as much of my work records the landscape that is around me, which I experience and travel though on a regular basis day in day out. I am constantly trying to look at it in different ways, be it in different light or times of the day or year. I want to find the right combination of factors that speak to me. My aim is to create distillations of these locations within my work, by taking what I see as a starting point. I want to produce work that has the feel of the space and light that I know. Each painting evolves from being about an actual location to a series of marks that attempt to convey my response to that place.
