Light on form is my inspiration and fuels all my work. I start
each piece as an exercise in lighting form, whether that form
is the human figure, or the landscape/seascape, and each
piece invariably progresses into a spiritual journey where
the painting evolves into a vignette of my everyday life
the emotions, the responses to external events and pressures,
and the ongoing spiritual reflection: all rarely articulated.
Whilst not intentional the women in my paintings feel and
face pain and in my landscapes a deep emotion is evoked.
This emotion comes as I paint and subconsciously it
dictates the creation of each facet of the painting the
palette, the background, the brushstrokes. Each piece
takes me on a journey, sometimes unwelcome but always
illuminating.
