Artist Statement . . . I am an Abstract Landscape Artist inspired by nature, working mainly in Oils and mixed media painting.
I paint colourful, energetic, emotive impressions of the landscape.
My process starts by sketching when I am inspired by the landscapes I encounter. I then paint out my emotional responses on either canvas or panel boards later in my studio. I experiment with colour palettes, textures and layering of paint and brush work.
Perhaps then, the reason I enjoy painting is to speak without words, through my own kind of visual poetry. Painting has therefore become my personal creative way of expressing my emotive responses to the world around me.
" We cannot speak other than by our paintings" - [Vincent Van- Gogh]
The act of painting itself also allows me to reflect and ask questions about current contemporary environmental issues.
