The subject matter of my work is often garnered from a glimpse, something that has turned my head in my travels and I try to capture this in photograph or sketch before working on it. Something about the subject has spoken to me, be it a line, a colour or a combination of both but often its a bit unusual. I am totally in love with the Sussex countryside – its sculptural qualities really resonate and I know it really well but I also love going to new landscapes and extracting its peculiarities. Generally there is a narrative buried in the work which I try to bring out. Not every piece is successful but that is the beauty of being an artist, you can delve deeper every time or have the capacity to change and enhance. Below is one of the largest and most accomplished paintings I have completed so far (now forming part of a private collection in London).
