I react most strongly to moving through landscape and view drawing, particularly whilst walking or travelling by boat, as the core tool of my visual practice.

The dynamic and rich oil paintings are an expression of the feeling of being in a place at a time, of the experience of the elements - light and space, colour and texture, the dramatic effects of natural light and atmospheric changes - and of pure pleasure in paint.

I capture the immediate visual stimuli of the moment and these spontaneous studies form the basis for the paintings.
