The focus of my current practice is imaginary landscapes and is concerned with capturing and interpreting a sense of the otherworldly through the medium of painting. My process is intuitive, using memory and the imagination to both transform and create abstract new worlds which are inspired by the beauty and mysteriousness of our own universe. Predominantly, my work relates to woodlands and forests, as well as lakes and mountainsides, which I feel have magical atmospheres and offer a unique peacefulness. Through oil paints, I explore qualities such as light, softness and translucency and I use the spontaneous nature of the medium to guide the paintings direction - What results is this abstract ambiguous imagery which conjures up a sense of place through our association with the range of marks and choices of colour.
