“I am drawn to how we shape our environment; how we carve out areas of landscape to suit our purposes, and how this sits, often uncomfortably within the natural surroundings.
My recent series of paintings are inspired by the colours and sense of infiltration of harsh artificial light butting up against the beauty of the natural light of dusk. Where urban life meets trees and countryside, human beings and their environment rubbing shoulders.
I find my subject matter when I am out exploring either on a run or a walk. I may take some photos and then return later with a sketchbook to collect more information. I make the final painting back in my studio, working quickly, building layers, using acrylic paints for speed.”
