ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The painting belies perhaps the process involved in achieving it's finished state. With no pre-drawing, it begins with very free strokes of translucent paint to resolve the composition. Increasing layers of paint are applied and built up with a small brush to obtain both opacity and the tight meeting of colours. These effects are further intensified by the very flat application of paint, such that no brush strokes are visible on the canvas. The painting moves between representation and abstraction as one's attention is drawn in turn by the landscape evoked and by the interaction of the colours themselves.

I am a UK based artist practicing in Sheffield and I am self-taught. I did not engage with my artistic self for nearly twenty years after leaving school. However, in 2008 I realised that it was essential for me to live my life as the artist I knew myself to be within. I recognised that I would need to end my career in the National Health Service to commit to this. This was even before I had found the confidence to pick up my paint brushes again. However, once I did so, my paintings and drawings emerged and continue to develop. Within a year I had held a very fulfilling exhibition with a surgical colleague. By 2011 I was pursuing my art practice full-time. My first solo exhibition in a gallery was held in 2013. My studio is within my home where I enjoy the peace and solitude to work. I also enjoy painting and drawing plein air. My main concerns are with colour, tone and form influenced directly by my interactions with the world around me. In 2014 I undertook a three month residency based in the operating rooms of a hospital in Sheffield where I sat drawing the surgical team at work. My paintings and drawings are held within private and corporate collections within the UK and internationally.
