I paint fragmented, abstract scenes, inspired by nature, memories and dreams.

My thought process doesn’t need to be important to your experience of the paintings and I invite you to embrace your own way of enjoying them. But if you would like to know more, that’s okay too.

In painting I seek to create something that feels familiar, but distant. A half-remembered dream that can evoke a range of emotions, sometimes with a peculiar sense of drama.

I think of a painting as a single, incomplete snapshot of memory and time. The scene might be perilously close to falling apart and becoming incoherent, but I hope you’ll still be quite confident in what you’re seeing. For the record, you’re right.

My paintings are often inspired by the places I visit, including the Peak District, the Welsh coast and the rolling hills of Yorkshire. Some are of no particular place at all.

Fundamentally, my goal is still to paint something that is captivating and intriguing to look at, especially at approximately one nose-length away.
