Shimmering Heat Painting

I am a self taught UK based abstract contemporary artist and I started painting four years just before lockdown. What inspires me is all that is around me, whether it be on my doorstep or when I travel. The sights, the texture, the experiences and the feelings, nature in all it's bounty. I try to put that into my art. My art ranges from non representational mark making to abstract landscapes and florals to semi abstract seascapes. I choose a colour palette, which can be very influenced by the seasons, and use intuition as my guide, letting go of what the final outcome will be but letting one mark inform the next. I believe what transpires is authentic and honest. I work primarily in oil and cold wax, acrylic and collage.
