Artist’s Statement

 

‘I have no wish to psychoanalyse my work. What I can say is that I have been tremendously influenced by the countryside of my childhood. The English border county of Herefordshire instilled in me a love of wild landscapes with dramatic, often brooding skies and Celtic mystery…the land of King Offa and Merlin. Landscapes with lone buildings and few people.

 

I discovered remote places in Scotland and Wales, then further away in France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Africa and more recently, Asia. The people who inhabit these places are strong, independent and full of character and I should like to think that these characteristics are reflected in my work. I have to feel strongly about a place before wishing to paint it and need shape, angle and colour. As I work the atmosphere evolves. My paintings are direct and represent a visual description of a place that has given me happiness’.
