About The Artwork

Broadly speaking, my work divides into two main spheres. The first is abstractions from nature and tends towards the ethereal. This body of work has a nebular quality and clouding, glazes and mists are often incorporated. The other division of work falls into a more contemporary, modern category. This is a celebration of colour without form and is a purer sense of abstract, with a more 'design' than organic quality. This large canvas, created using raw pigments, falls into the second. I particularly love working with the umber as it feels like refined earth and this element of the painting is the dominant feature (top/centre/left). The other colours, layered beneath using thinned oils and rough knife work remain unblended to maintain a candid sense of abstract. The iron oxide forms a complementary section to the umber on the bottom right.

My art is primarily organic abstraction, often portraying surreal and softened landscapes. A dream or nebulous quality marks both transitions and compositions. This is derived from a mode of life, which is rooted in inner stillness. I live in South West France, surrounded by tranquil forests. That quietness of being is what I strive for in my studio. I paint without distraction, so that I can fully connect with what I am creating. The more I can remove myself from the process, the better the work. I only paint in oils as they give such wonderful luminosity and I prefer large scale pieces for freedom of mind.
