Hi.

I like to draw and paint imaginary scenes in my landscape work. They are usually influenced by places I have been and things I have seen but the end result is not usually a true interpretation of a particular view.

Peaceful scenes and calming places of beauty are my inspiration. When I feel that I can imagine myself in that place, I am happy that the work is then finished and ready to be viewed by others.

I have an eternal fascination with light: the effects with various pigments, the source and colour of the light, and the way in which it falls on various subjects. I often use stark tonal values, enhancing space, depth and the illusion of the 3 dimensional within a two dimensional plane.

I want the viewer to enter the space within the art, creating their own personal journey and dialogue. I love to create a sense of mood or memory, a feeling or emotion that captures a moment.

My hope is that my works speak to you in your own unique way.

The fully framed size of this piece is 28.5cm x 36cm or 11.2" x 14.2" .
