ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Painted on thick good quality Saunders and Waterford paper. This painting refers to when the Vikings arrived in Isle of Skye in the 8th century, whilst the Pictish Celts were there and transformed the place. I have used a combination of actual Viking and Celtic runes and pictograms as well as my own personal pictograms. As with all the Isle of Skye paintings, this evokes a magical, mysterious and ethereal atmosphere. The painting focuses attention on its abstraction - shapes, lines, rhythms, colours and textures to be enjoyed for its own sake.

Statement Tutored by the highly acclaimed Stewart Geddes and Stass Paraskos. My atmospheric abstractions portray experiences in places (landscapes and interiors) in an aesthetic way. Experiences in Cyprus, Rome, Scottish Highlands, Wales, Worthing Coast (where I live) and my home interior have provided fantastic inspiration. Urban and natural places both entice me. I'm visually captivated by nature, urban/ natural colours, ruins, architecture, historical art/ artefacts, graffiti and weathered walls in places. A place's history, weather, atmosphere and my emotions also influence my work. That inspiration from a place, determines specific colours, visual effects, moods, shapes and textures, which I improvise with and enjoy for their own sake. I love paint- layering, exploring textures, excavating, collaging and incising it in my relic/organic-like acrylic works, on thick archival papers. It's a fascinating adventure seeing my paintings evolve an independent life/ history of their own, yet still evoking a sense of place.
