2025

New work

Work produced in 2025 – Currently I don’t have a studio space so these are drawings – although the process and approach is the same as a painting:
I don’t know the outcome when I start, although I do have an idea or feeling; a remembered space or moment; sometimes a drawing or photo made at the time. These are the starting points but the end is unknown at the beginning.

I choose media that allows for change. I work in the context of and dialogue with other painters working now and in the past. I make decisions as the piece develops, sometimes obliterating and obscuring to move it away from the obvious.

I work hard at colour and it’s often, I think, too sweet! I think about composition – and often will turn a piece to work at it from the side or other way up; to get away from the gravity and horizon that can dominate the forms.
