About The Artwork
The unpaid ‘wakes’ holiday each town in Lancashire took on a different week in the summer when the mills and factories were closed for maintenance. It refers to weekends as a teenager walking on the moors to the East of Manchester. This was partly for the pleasure of it but also through a vicarious association with the heritage of the mill town I used to live in.

United Kingdom
Born in the UK in Manchester- now working from my Studio in St Ives. My oil paintings explore aspects of MELANCHOLIA using traditional methods of oil paint on canvas and on wooden panels. I work initially from pen and ink drawings that combine elements of my own figurative drawing with my photographs and found images. Working directly onto the support with oil glazes, I use these subverted images as the basis for a loose and immediate style of painting. Consequently the oil paintings have a freshness of execution despite the melancholic themes.
