ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Stromness on Orkney is the second town of the island, and is where the ferries from the North of Scotland arrive. Being by the sea and the strong tidal currents that surround the island there is a lot or research into wave power. The site where this was painted had been a centre for this research but the particular project being developed here had only lasted a week in the water and all funding ceased. The work stopped immediately leaving a site filled with maritime junk which provided endless interesting forms and colours to paint. This was one of several paintings i have done. It was started on the spot but I did not like the foreground which had become overworked, so I reprimed the board and repainted it with looser paintwork. The town of Stromness lies across the bay.

When I graduated from the Royal College of Art I was painting large abstract paintings. However I was always fascinated in the potential of paint to create illusions, particularly the illusion of space and depth, so I started painting figuratively again. But coming from a background of abstraction, the paintings had to also be a balancing act between form and colour. Besides my own work I have also worked as a paintings conservator and taught art in adult classes as well as summer schools. Commissions have included two large oils for Nottingham Council for their new Council Chamber. In 2006 I was artist in residence at Garsington Opera. My work is in the collections of Lindblad Travel, Paris Blues, Nottingham Council and Hammersmith Hospital. Bridgeman Images holds forty one images of my work.
