I am a painter and have been painting for at least 43 years. My work has been influenced by Oriental concepts of space. The paintings are no-mans-land landscapes in which there may be a hut, a chair, fences, steps or a mountain. They are usually single objects which affect and are affected by the space and the emotional resonance depend on this relationship. The paintings are in oil and I sometimes add raw pigments mixed with alkyd resin to create specific textures. I lived in Tokyo for two years: 1998-2001 and in China for nearly eight years: 2008-2015
