VIEW IN MY ROOM
It was a cold winter in Bergen when i painted this and i think the cold winter light came through. i am totally inspired by my environment and i try to interpret through my paintings using a combination of controlled and uncontrolled processes. in this painting i built my pallet first with a contrasting colour scheme and with varying consistencies to the paint. i then used a combination of brushes and pallet knives to apply and scrape back certain sections to build up the picture. I never start out with an image in mind, but it mostly seems to resemble elements of nature and my environment. To me, this painting is an ode to discovery. When things can seem only grey and bleak, there still can be treasures to be found. The painting is on a pre-stretched canvas and is painted around the edge.

Norway
I was born and raised in Birmingham, UK. I studied at Birmingham School of Art as part of the BCU University. I moved to Bergen, Norway in 2011 where i am currently based. The landscape and my environment provide my main source of inspiration and I find my eyes are more drawn to patterns and shapes in the world around me, than people or faces. I often focus on a natural element such as stone or water and fragment representations of these in my imagery. I like how aspects of nature inspire folklore and I often try to capture an element of fantasy within my work, it fascinates me how the human mind can imagine endless stories from seeing a tree or a rock, or even looking at the sky. My methods are very improvisational and each piece is a relationship of action and response between me and the artwork which becomes a journey where the destination is unknown. I predominantly work with acrylic on canvas, as I work in layers, I rely on having a quick drying time. I float between processes in which I have a lack of control ie. drips, splashes, and spills, to then highlighting, outlining, or erasing areas in order to reach resolution. I may have a particular experience or place as something to work towards in order to reach harmony upon the canvas but the final destination is never fully anticipated.
