Artist Statement

I am interested in Architecture, and landscape and colour relationships in my oil paintings. Bath is one of my favourite subjects as well as the river Avon and and glimpses of foreign scenes. All my paintings are done in the studio using my black and white photos, sketches and memory. The canvas is primed and stretched by me so that I get a chalky ground which takes the brush marks without over blending. I try to keep the brush marks as free as possible to add life to the paintings and use an impressionist palate of blues, reds and yellows.

I am aiming for a tranquil immersive feeling in my paintings. I hope to create a relaxed feeling in the viewer and to stimulate their own thoughts and memories of nature past and present.

I live and work in Bath. After studying art at Salisbury Art College and Coventry University I became a graphic designer and illustrator. I have always painted mainly in oil paint. I have exhibited my paintings at the The Mall Gallery, London and Imagianation Gallery.
