I am a contemporary artist concentrating on non-representational painting. I work in a variety of media, from oil, acrylic and mixed media. I use several layers, mostly involving many different textures, such as sand, clay, glass, wire and ceramics, providing a variety of textural elements to my pieces. My paintings are spontaneous. I begin each piece with a vague idea, which I cultivate to grow and evolve. My landscape work uses a limited palette, which is striking and expressive in itself. I tend to blend colours directly on the canvas, and then layer several glazes. I work with colour and texture in this way, with no interest in realism or recognisable forms. I love the complexity of colour, and its subtle harmonies. My work expresses this emotional wealth of colour and texture, infused with a deep passion for nature.
