"Summer" Painting

I draw inspiration from the physical world I inhabit, both natural and man-made. My work embodies natural elements such as the quality and movement of water, botanical elements such as plants, flowers and trees and the urban environment of contemporary architecture. Constantly seeking out these elements provides me with the seeds for new ideas and artworks. All the artworks are taken from my new book "Improvising with Light" I have been listening to jazz since I was twelve years old, and it was the improvisations that excited me, the ability to spontaneously move in and around the original theme with apparent effortless ease, or so it seemed! Henri Cartier-Bresson said “The camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity". At the heart of my work is the creation of an extensive archive of photographic sketches, but you could also start with a water colour, a drawing, oil painting or film based photograph.  Although my work starts with a photograph I think like a painter, my compositions are minimalist and use the visual language of shape, form, texture and colour.  They are created using a very fluid intuitive technique of image capture, improvising with the light on any given day, then making composites by painting and blending two or more images. By working with acrylic glass the artwork is both lit from the front, back, top and sides, which means that the artwork itself will be improvising with the light throughout the day.
