Responding to the awesome power of nature on the Hebridean Isle of Mull's exposed west coast, this tromp l'oeil composition depicts Calgary Bay in the winter storm season when a myriad of flotsam and jetsom wash up on the storm tide line on the west coast of the island. This is a place I always return to when on the Island to lose myself in the raw energy of nature, and have drawn and painted many times. This series is in part inspired by the museum dioramas that fascinated me in the London of my childhood. Mixed media composition using photographic image transfer, acrylic, mastic, found objects, oil, and damar varnishes.

For me painting is performative :: explore - form - redact - scribe - obliterate - order - resolve. The materiality of paint texture, gesture, and colour - the abstract gestalt - a record of process, a layered palimpsest, manifested in the artefact. I work using an iterative process, beginning from the discoveries of previous work, but letting go of predetermined expectations. Taking an experimental approach to working with painting media, including the use of a plasterer’s trowel, squeegee, metal scribe and occasionally brush, to allow chance and visual discovery to inform the dynamic journey a painting takes. I am a Irish/British artist from London, and since leaving there in 1997, I have lived in Malmo Sweden, in Newcastle, and currently reside in Bristol where I have a family and teach alongside of my studio practice. Importantly for me it is the experience of these cities and of their hinter-landscapes that informs my work. Alongside of my establishing and leading a foundation art & design programme, I exhibit widely in the UK, and my work is held in collections in the U.K., Europe, the UAE, and in the U.S. In 2022/3 I took a sabbatical from teaching and using this time and intellectual space to fully engage with an immersive studio practice - and produced a dynamic new group of works. Following on from this I have now left full time teaching to focus upon his studio practice. I continue to teach online and in my studio, and am a verified online tutor through Spires and Superprof, providing mentoring for UCAS applicants & workshops in art and design.
