My paintings aim not to portray material objects but rather to convey thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to put into words. I work in an expressive and intuitive way, mainly in oils, and sometimes acrylics, combining bold brushstrokes with subtle hints of veiled colour, sometimes incorporating loose geometric shapes, to create ethereal compositions. The starting point for a painting could be a partly formed thought, a fragment of memory, a moment in time or a place half remembered. My work references elements from external landscapes, both natural and manmade, as well as inner landscapes and states of mind. I graduated with a degree in fine art from the University of Gloucestershire in 2014 and am based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where I have a studio. I am a member of the Cheltenham Group of Artists.
