Artist's StatementMy richly textured oil and cold wax paintings explore what is left behind, transformed or preserved over time in an environment. Drawn to fragile coastal geology and rock surfaces with their ancient lines, I examine details and structure on immense land mass, their fragility and resilience.

I use oils and cold wax to build up layers into which I press textures, make and reveal marks, find and incise lines, to create a painting with a sense of history. The movement of paint and media on my panels mirrors life cycles of growth, ageing, erosion and renewal. I am inviting my audience to engage with the rich history of the ground we tread, as I passionately believe in the importance of our connection with nature and relationship to our environment.

I exhibit regularly in the UK, was Artist in Residence in Groundwork Gallery (art and environment gallery, King’s Lynn) last year. My work is held in private and corporate collections across the world, and is published in “Portraits for NHS Heroes” and the Cambridge Art Book. I am a selected member of Cambridge Drawing Society and the OuseLife group of artists.

I'm looking forward to exhibiting again with Riverside Arts, weekends 11/12th and 18/19th July. Easy parking, beautiful riverside location, great transformation of furniture workshop into an exciting exhibition space. A feast of 2-D and 3-D art from 5 very different artists!
