NEW WORKS - PAINTINGS
(Click on each image for a larger view.)

My work explores abstraction using the environment as a source of imagery.
With elements from land, sea and sky I create space, light, solidity.
Inspiration comes from the natural world and its atmosphere,
but the life on canvas becomes independent and self-sufficient.

It's a process of recalling emotions and visual impressions of my surroundings, then
making a composition of memory and imagination. I aim to capture a quality of light and
nuance of feeling that emerges with underpainting and successive layers of glazes -
creating a sense of infinite space and mutability without place or period. It evokes the
changeable atmosphere of the essential elements - air, water, earth and fire, and invites
the viewer to experience something that is timeless and primal, beyond history,
yet intensely personal in the same moment.
