I love walking outside in nature and see this as an extension of my studio practice. When I walk I think about places I have visited, the landscape that surrounds me, thoughts on life and what is happening in the world today. I like to work intuitively and rarely plan what I am going to do which I feel echo’s the unpredictability of life and the intangibility of memory. To reflect this my work is abstract or semi abstract using acrylic paint, oil paint and various drawing materials on canvas, board or paper.
