About The Artwork
In 2011 I spent a week in Calabria in the South of Italy quite near the sea. It was very hot and the landscape was burnt up with a lot of ochre and burnt sienna in the colouring. But in the distance was the Mediterranean and this contrast provided the stimulus for the painting. As I had flown out there I did not have oils, so I painted the view in gouache. Last year I decided to paint a larger version in acrylic. What interested me besides the colours was the creation of space and at the same time by fading the image out and letting the paint run, reminding viewers that it is just a painting. This balance between abstraction and figuration or paint as a signifier of something in the real world and paint purely used as paint is something that has always interested me

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, although the lessons I had learnt at art school were not forgotten. 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 from 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 and some of my paintings are available in postcard and greeting card format from Towell and Scott.
