Of Land

I am inspired by the land, the weather that surrounds me and by objects that carry associations and personal meaning. My recent work has been all about landscape.

My work is often a construct from memories and observations gathered from my sketchbooks or photographs rather than a literal depiction of a 'real' landscape. Fear plays a part in my process; the uneasy start to a painting when addressing the white of the canvas and then, once started, the following fear of messing up. Incidentally, my best work comes from the phase where I am lost in the action of 'messing up'! I paint in acrylics most of the time but I also like to add collage elements in the form of printed matter and fabric scraps. Occasionally I take out my brayer and inks and create monoprints.
