My current work is a response to the garden, both my own and other larger public gardens, often near to the sea.
I gather inspiration by making studies in the environment, of plants, trees, flowers, paths and shadows, then in the studio these are translated into paintings in oils or acrylics, slowly growing over time. My aim is to make a poetic response to the garden itself, affected by the seasons and the weather… seeking a feeling of what it was like to be there as much as the appearance of the places I love.
