Dominic's use of colour, texture and depth in his landscape paintings  gives them a really special atmosphere. An intuitive, tactile approach in building up the layers is made even more remarkable by the fact that Dom mostly applies the oils directly with his left hand. At the age of two he was involved in a road traffic accident which resulted in a brain injury causing right-sided paralysis and partial sightedness. These characteristics associated with his injury have in fact given him the unique and heightend way of perceiving colour and space which is evident in his work. Based in Alston in Cumbria, Dom frerquently hikes out in the North Pennines, the Lake District and Yorkshire, and these are are some of Dom's many inspirations, as well as exploring much loved and iconic cities like Manchester and Newcastle.
