Artist Statement
Working outside in all weathers and seasons, my paintings begin with a focus on observational drawing as a way of immersing myself with the subject. They progress toward dynamic compositions in oil, gouache, and sometimes acrylic. I seek to synthesize the scene by employing the use of bold colour and assertive mark making.
Working in adverse conditions often leads to transformative and unpredictable outcomes, as I grapple with combining my own feeling for the landscape with the pressures of working out of doors.
In terms of subject matter, my eye is frequently drawn to the overlooked or unloved aspects of the natural and urban environment, searching for a lyrical expression that characterizes the uniqueness of a place with my own personal interpretation.
