About my art...
I’m a painter of semi-abstract and abstract landscapes and some figurative works.

Diurnal Landscapes Series
My current focus is a series of landscapes with a central dividing element, each side of which potentially represents a differing moment in time of change in light. The intention is to include a mix of more realistically representational works, varying to highly abstracted treatments – but still discernible as landscape forms; and also including within the series, variations in hard and soft edging treatments.

Previously…
I'd been working on two broad subject areas; 1. purely abstract artworks, mainly focused on colour interactions; and 2. semi-abstracted landscapes.
I'm particularly interested in the edge between abstraction and representation; the edges of colours and how they interact harmoniously or contrast with one another; and the physical edge of the paint – how it can be softly blended, sharply delineated, crudely intermixed or overlaid.
I also like the accidental, and the intuitive mark – both aspects with an element of risk, but also the potential for something exciting and visually stimulating to appear that wasn't originally anticipated.

I’ve been better known for my semi-abstract landscapes. (See my older works gallery for more examples).
