About

My works are influenced by the lines and slices of landscape in its abstract, conjuring recollections and moods of places past, present and invented.
I’m interested in experimenting with colour, texture and abstract landscapes.
One of my techniques is to use hard rubber lino rollers to pick up textures as acrylic paint, liberally applied, starts to dry and go tacky.
I like to see what textural landscapes can be created.
I began painting with acrylics in the mid 1990’s, when I discovered the immediacy of creative process using this medium, having started with oils. And oils dried too slowly for me, allowed me too much freedom – acrylics had to be worked fast.
I hope you enjoy this collection and are able take a little while to see what you can see in each picture.
