Artist Statement

My work is about building abstract structures with colour, form, texture and layering with interest to creating space.    I draw my inspiration from nature, often immersing myself in the beauty of Chiltern landscape. The current series of work relates to the daily walk I do and it reflects on my fascination with the natural world.  Observing and contemplating by the stunning nature, something triggers to remind me of the landscape I grew up in, a far-away land.  The sense of place, memory and longing, my work covers the idea of being connected in one place and another.  With this feeling, I am interested in exploring the relationship between perception, memory and experience.

I enjoy using oil paint for its shimmering and impasto qualities.  I use vibrant colours and bold strokes to reflect the complex hues and textures of nature.  In places, I apply paint thickly with a palette knife to communicate the proximity.

Colour is important but the choice is usually one of intuition rather than having meaning or symbolic value.   Through intuitive decision-making and the idea of chance and serendipity, I aim to create compositional dynamics, energy and rhythm in my work.
