I produce figurative and semi-abstract oil paintings with the theme of our impact on our environment and those things that are part of it. However, it is the visual appearance of our human traces that inspires my paintings, rather than environmental issues.
My subjects are familiar, often overlooked everyday objects and places, including old shoes, books, chairs, homes, fences and plastic bags and bottles. In my paintings I aim to give a sense of an object's place and transience.
Each painting is a new journey, dictated by my response to the subject. The experimental and accidental are important factors in my work. I continue to be fascinated by the physicality of paint and its relationship with the image.
