"Often the ideas come from being out and about and seeing something and making a linkage with the land, for example a traffic roundabout created an awareness of the relentless and continuous advancement of industry against the temporality of our landscape.
Landforms with slips became ice-cream melting.
Other ideas are more like a story or narrative, like the passage between the end product and where it came from"

Statement by the Artist

The most prominent and permanent motif in our landscape and ecosystem is the tree, which throughout history has remained richly symbolic.

Elements of repetition, combined with striking contrasts of light and dark, and juxtapositions of lines and mass, give form and structure to natural and urban spaces that can vary from the picturesque to the foreboding.

As a contemporary painter with environmental interests it is important to document and pay tribute to these natural spaces, highlighting the need for the protection of our natural resources, especially in today's shifting climatic and atmospheric conditions.

Stylistically representational for immediate association, these works set up a dialogue between the real and the illusionary, evoking a sense of memory and place.
