Whilst exhibiting with a gallery in Newcastle in England, I took an opportunity to walk the Northumberland Coast. I was struck by the expanse of sky and the horizon line. I hope that viewers will feel a sense of peace and that they will breathe more deeply. I want to invite people to pause and be, to connect with the body and breath and be immersed in looking. This painting is an example of one of the first completed works using a new technique I am developing. By blind drawing first with white acrylic gesso, I am able to build up very subtle textures which I can then set the ink into. This gives a sense of simplicity and lightness whilst also layering the different colours to give depth.

I am inspired by light, land, sky, and weather. The paintings are amalgamations of journeys taken on foot by running and walking. They describe and communicate physical, emotional and visual experiences of landscape. I typically emphasise the sky and remove signs of human habitation. By doing this I hope to offer you space to breathe and be, to be immersed or uplifted, to connect with your own memories of landscape. The paintings are made using a traditional gesso ground on birch or poplar. I prepare the gesso surface over a number of days. When I am ready to make a painting, I create texture by painting with the gesso and carving into the surface with wire wool, sandpaper and wood carving tools. Next I work with high quality light fast acrylic inks and push the pigment into the surfaces I have created.
