2008318 Painting

My studio is in Dartmoor, England. I studied Graphic Design and worked as a creative director in advertising but I've always felt compelled to paint, initially still life and portraiture, but for many years solely abstract. I find abstract expressionism to be the most emotionally engaging and inspiring period in modern art, particularly gestural/action painting. I usually have several paintings in progress at any one time. I build up layers of texture then abrade them to deconstruct and bring concealed areas back to life. Anything familiar is removed or reworked, continually refining the composition. I work without a plan or preconceived idea, allowing instinct to be my guide, exploring the unknown and solving artistic problems. Please email me for sales or visit my website for the most recent work and thanks for stopping by.
