After 20 years working in the creative industry, I have returned to my first love of painting, with a particular interest in expressive landscape painting. My inspiration is drawn from the ever-changing land, sky, and weather of the English countryside, specifically North Hertfordshire where I reside. The development of each painting lies in the layering process, using brushes, palette knife, and mixed media to paint, scratch, scrape, and rebuild the surface, all in an effort to create an expressive landscape. I am intrigued by the energy of mark-making and aspire to capture the essence of what I see and feel.
