Statement

Statement

My work involves, painting, installation and prints.

I am currently looking at the philosophy of impermanence. Searching for a visual representation that adequately describes the transitory nature of our lives and the environment we encounter.

Latterly I have been exploring sunrises and sunsets, mark-making and surfaces as well as our environmental impact on the landscape through neglect and carelessness.

I often work in the Portpatrick area of Scotland looking out over the Irish Sea.

Gazing at the sky, focussing on clouds,  has become a passion.  I think of the continuous movement, of shapes and colours in the sky, as a metaphor for our passing through life.
