I love painting, always have always will! It's really that simple. Have been fortunate enough to be able to pursue my interest in art design, as an illustrator of books, a designer and art director.
The painting has been on a more personal level, and enjoy painting primarily in acrylic. I like to work quickly to capture the moment, before it passes, before the cloudburst, before the light changes to reveal a totally different scene again. Whenever possible i like to pack an easel, or lean a canvas on a tree trunk or a rock, work in-field always adds a certain immediacy which i strive to capture.
Bold colour, strong forms and angry skies always strike a chord with me, the play of light picking out forms, revealing the landscape. My paintings are my memories, it's my document of being in the moment,
i hope they evoke a strong connection for others too.
