| Statement |
My work is based on gardens, woodlands and Country Estates.
‘ The garden for me is a place of quiet, a place to stop, an almost religious ‘building’. It has witnessed the brevity of life, the joy and transience of beauty, the daily toil, death and re-birth, the seasons of life.
I want my art to reflect these seasons. My work is becoming increasingly more referential and not entirely realistic, inviting the viewer’s participation and hopefully giving a glimpse into the life, toil, death and re-birth of the creative journey.
Working quickly building up layers, the work takes on its own life and often ends up in a way I could never have predicted or planned. I enjoy these surprises!’
