Held In The Light Painting

I am a process-driven painter, meaning that the creation of the artwork is entirely dependent on the moment that I share with the paints. I engage with the materials and the surface as if they are alive and we co-create the painting based on this real-time relationship. There is an element of laying down my ambition for the final image and instead entering a collaborative state where I can discern the direction of the composition and be led to create a painting that accurately embodies the time it was painted in. I work in oils, unusually on oil paper and all of my work is abstract. I work full time from my studio in Hove, UK and exhibit a few times a year in both solo and group exhibitions.
