I work intuitively to begin with on several pieces at the same time forming a series, using oil paints and cold wax medium on wood panels. This allows me to see what is working so that I can expand and develop my ideas, eventually forming a visual dialogue. I build several layers of paint, drawn marks, and either visual or physical texture. in the form of organic shapes depicting the landscape. The emergence of previously hidden imagery and flashes of colour can be achieved by methods of either scraping back with various tools , or by using solvent reduction.
As the painting develops I take a more critical approach, refining and resolving. whilst striving to keep the energy of the marks. I would like to think that my work evokes a human experience of the land, rather than it’s physical presence, which is my offering to the viewer.
