Artist Statement
I am a self-taught artist who draws inspiration from locations that can be close to home or far away.
Either way the scenes usually catch my eye in an instant. I explore them further with several trips
to the same place to get the light, feel and composition right.
I love working with light and the way it changes a vista throughout the day.
The different shadows and patterns it makes and the way it can completely change colours
from one moment to another depending on the time of day or even the season you see it in.
I paint in a variety of sizes but particularly enjoy painting on a large scale.
I love the amount of detail and impact you can achieve with size. I suppose I have a documentitive
approach but one that looks for an emotional reaction not a rational response.
