My abstract paintings are mostly driven by the combination of physical and emotional experiences. They often interpret a feeling or emotion that I felt in a particular place and time. 
Oil paints are blended and worked to offer a sensitive colour palette or a stronger contrasting style depending on the piece. Colour and the feeling of movement are vital to my work.

Abstract

As with all of my paintings a landscape image is driven by the combination of physical and emotional experiences at that place and time. They often interpret a feeling or emotion that I felt looking at that particular space and the light from the sky. I hope to remind the viewer of a similar experience that they may have seen and felt.

Seascapes

Mixed Media

When I choose to paint a still life it is ususally driven by an unusual angle to. the subject matter or by the contrast of the flowers/fruit to the background and shadows. I always aim to keep a painterly style to the backgrounds while focusing on either the main colour or shape of the featured flowwrs and vase.
