Verbier, Mont Fort Painting

While the compositional structure of my representational paintings is carefully considered, I work more intuitively as I progress. I hope my paintings have rhythm and I look for subjects that will assist in accomplishing that aim. Passages of colour, fragmented brushwork, tonal arrangement and strong lines of perspective are all put to purpose in achieving a sense of movement and tension. Predominantly I paint in oils, a medium with a huge capacity to shift and surprise during the creative process. I find inspiration in landscapes that I have come to know over many years. I hope this deep familiarity produces an appealing intimacy in my work that goes beyond faithful representation.
