Place of birth Stroud
Country of residence United Kingdom

The paintings are initiated by visiting peripheral landscapes. Remote building sites, roadsides, disused canals - neither populated nor without human presence, they are lonely places. Drawings are made on site and brought into the studio, where in a more reflective environment I can become intuitively involved in making a painterly response to the psychological.
