I have always been intrigued by the differences in surface texture and how paint can be affected by it; beginning with a plaster ground which I can then incise to create line work. The application of metal foils and pearlescent paint further enriches the surfaces.
Floral painting allows me to use freer forms and a wider colour range bringing to it a degree of abstraction. Vibrant, striking, vivid, geometrically shaped colours become my abstract paintings.Metal foils are added to provide an extra dimension to the these forms and shapes.
The moors, the isolated farm houses and hamlets, the villages and the roads through the countryside of North Yorkshire have inspired me to paint my new work. It is the road that draws us through this beautiful powerful scenery and is embodied in my paintings.
