For me, there are so many different aspects to the creative process...one of those aspects is being out in nature, and one of my biggest sources of inspiration is the sky. My favourite thing is to walk high up into the mountains so I can get 360 degree view of the sky. There I'll sit or lay or wander, taking photographs and creating small studies (I call them my emotional landscapes because they're more about my emotional response to what's around me).
I work between my studios in London England and South Wales Mountains. I love to paint and I have a strong need to create.My work explores memory, emotion and the way a particular place, environment or ever-changing light can change the way I feel. At times, I begin a piece inspired purely through emotion and then comes a memory of place and time...it's then that a landscape begins to form. Other times I begin with a landscape and then the piece becomes more abstracted as memory and emotion take over
