Ripple Painting

My art is largely inspired by nature and the areas in which surround me as soon as I step out my front door. As a passionate walker I often take myself out and about with my camera, photographing and paying attention to the smallest details. When I get back to the studio I will then zoom into these images, discovering the intricate details which are at first blind to the eye, such as the veins of leaves or colour patterns within petals… this is what mostly inspires my first brush strokes or the tonal palette of a new canvas. I never have a composition in mind, I just put paint to canvas and let my creativity flow; using anything from brushes to a catalyst wedge in order to create the same motions and textures as those presented in my imagery.
