Welcome to the site

My paintings come from observation, memories and emotions and are nearly always based on landscapes. Sometimes when I look at a landscape the feelings of awe and wonder can be overwhelming: the beauty of the world can be heartbreaking.

All these feelings and memories are what drive my paintings; I feel I am entering a world of child like simplicity but my actions are controlled by complex cognitive processes of which I am largely unaware until the time, that is, when the painting is finished.

I parcel all the colours, spaces, memories and emotions that are in my mind and send this parcel into the future to be unwrapped when the painting is finished. It often is not what I expected to see.

Please feel free to view the gallery. If originals have sold, you still may be able to purchase limited edition high quality prints. Contact me for details.
