Artist Statement:

Using an impasto, painterly technique in oil I create abstracted landscapes and figurative works. I live in a small town and am surrounded by nature which is a great inspiration for me. Wherever I go, I see pictures that capture my attention and take them back to my studio to paint. My work is a culmination of years of painting practice using textural, expressionist marks. Using classical oils and painting on my grandmothers 1940’s easel, I work instantaneously across my canvas, creating layers of colour that overlap as the image emerges through a technique that I’ve developed over years of my practice. The image emerges as both abstract and representational.
