About the Artist


My subject matter consists mainly of still life or landscape, sometimes composed together or separately. These reflect experiences, memories and observations relating to stimuli, based on personal objects, my garden, birds, animals and the human form. Stylised, semi-abstracted sometimes decorative imagery feature in my work. Colour, texture and line are important elements, the use of paint quality, mixed media, print and collage playing an important part, as well as scale, which can vary within the composition. The subject matter is never preplanned but develops as the painting imagery progresses.
