I am a Shropshire based artist and have lived in this area all my life.
My work is based on Shropshire’s landscape and the reactions I see
occurring when different materials and elements are merging together.
I interpret these reactions by looking at the structures of the different materials i.e. leaves, straw, grass and create movement across the surface of the canvas with pattern.
It is my intention to leave perspective behind and treat the canvas in an ordered and methodical manner by knitting together shapes to create a visual structure so I can give the finished painting a rhythmical sensation with rich colour and a fabric like texture.
I use a series of methods; cut paper shapes or layers of paint building to achieve the texture and richness i require. i also see this process as bridging the gap between the visual experience and the physical task of painting.
