“Layering the paint, starting off loose, I use expressive gestural marks outlining my composition and then begin a timely process of ‘reining it in’ by blending, fading, pouring and glazing the oil paint in numerous layers, as though an atmospheric cloud has enveloped. Sometimes I incorporate dendrite branch like details as an anchor in an otherwise ethereal world, or the patterns of the way water finds it way though sand on the shore.An explorer and lover of the natural world, the underwater world and the ever changing elements; I take inspiration from my travels, recently Iceland and the dynamic changing weather, tides and coastline of Cornwall where I live. The boundaries of where land and water merge is an ongoing and perhaps never ending focus for the artist.”
