Artist Statement
My work explores the twin themes of memory and landscape. My intent is to translate and convey my own emotional connection and response to the natural environment. I work from my own sketches, photographs and memories to create representational oil paintings which capture the play of light, shadows and movement. I seek to imbue the work with mood and atmosphere which reflects my own emotional interaction with the landscape. In my creation of the more mystical landscapes, my desire is to translate the ethereal nature of my memory of a place. To capture the essence of a specific moment and to communicate my own sense of intrigue evoked by the fleeting nature of time and place.
