My recent abstract paintings incorporate gold leaf & corroded colours, whilst I employ eroded shapes, textures and forms to suggest emotive relationships and timescales within imagined surroundings.
Aswell as being inspired by seascapes, horizons, sunsets & landscapes where land meets water, my experiences & sensations of the underwater world as a scuba diver, also influence my work.
I qualified in Fine Art at BA and MA level and have exhibited over many years.
