I am fascinated by light, colours, textures and shades; I enjoy experimenting with techniques such as impasto, the use of palette knives, the application of glazes and most recently sfumato. My primary consideration when looking for an image to interpret is the effect of the colour, or the combinations of the colours within that image; I need to be attracted to the image, to have my imagination fired by what I see before I can determine how to realise it on canvas. To this end I tend to work in oils, building layer upon layer, to afford an almost textural quality to the finished piece. In all of my work the importance of light, how it falls on or across the subject, and the way this changes our perception of the subject, is one of the most essential elements of what I am trying to capture. My work breaks down loosely into three subject areas; landscapes, urbanscapes and seascapes. In each area I use similar techniques to try and bring out the beauty of a particular place or view that I feel can often be overlooked, or sometimes missed because of its familiarity.
