Aritst Statement
What excites me most about painting is creating something which combines the visual beauty of nature with what being in the landscape makes us feel. Painting allows imagination and instinct to take over; colour can be applied rapidly in exciting marks or quietly dragged across the space; be thick and expressive, or removed leaving nothing but a trace of colour and the ghost of a mark.
Through my paintings I feel I’m always striving to give a sense of the breath taking affects that light can have on the landscape; the drama created by shadows, its power to illuminate colours making them impossibly vivid, its ability to make a moving body of water gleam, or the atmosphere created as light desperately tries to burst through the thick clouds in a moody foreboding sky.
As individuals, our memories and experiences contribute to who we are and where we are both physically and mentally. I feel the landscape has the power to reflect our feelings as well as conjure memories. Although the paintings I create are a reflection of my own memories and feelings towards the landscape, my ultimate hope is to create and share a space which triggers memories and feelings in others.
