Paintings, Printmaking

My work includes oil and acrylic paintings and silk screen prints. I was born in the Midlands but grew up in Cornwall and both locations inspire my work and my process. I studied at Plymouth art college (Foundation) and have taken courses in painting, printing and drawing at the RWA and the SGS college in Bristol.

My paintings are primarily abstract and semi abstract landscapes, reflecting places, experiences and ideas. I paint in a range of sizes including some large scale work. My screen prints are artist’s prints, I use acrylic and charcoal directly on the screen, transferring that to paper in a one-off process, so that no two prints are the same. With all my work, I love colour: strong, tonal, bright, dark, complementaries or antagonists; and the variety of marks that can be made on canvas. Painters I return to include Richard Diebenkorn, Marlene Dumas, Mark Rothko, Peter Doig, William Scott, and Rose Hilton.
