Artist's StatementGolden harvest fields, Norfolk churches silhouetted against the warm honeyed light of the setting sun and abundantly colourful fruit and flowers are the subjects which delight me.
The rich texture of the oil paint describes the joy of a petal caught in the light against a deep shadow or the swirl of golden barley beneath a brilliant blue sky.
I make tight but flowing drawing studies which I use to create tapestries of brush strokes in subtle chords of colour.
Everything is done in front of the subject in order to absorb the essence of the experience and I enjoy painting on a small scale.
I studied at The Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting in London where I was taught by Bernard Dunstan RA and Diana Armfield RA and other painters working in the tradition of the Camden Town Group and influenced by the impressionists.
