My work is inspired by the Cotswold landscape I have called home for more than thirty years. Walking through these hills and valleys, I am drawn to the subtle shifts in light, colour and atmosphere that transform the familiar into something newly discovered. These changing sensory impressions form the heart of my practice.
 

Working in the plein air tradition, I sketch and photograph while moving through the landscape rather than remaining in one place. The rhythm of walking shapes my gestural mark-making, while close-up photographs capture vivid colour combinations, textures and details that often go unnoticed. These collected fragments—sounds, sensations, glimpses—become the foundation for my studio work.
 

Back in the studio, sketches, notes and photographs act as catalysts for experimentation. I translate these sensory memories into abstract paintings that combine bold colour, energetic gesture and areas of rich impasto. Abstraction allows me to express the way perception, movement and memory overlap, blurring the boundary between what is seen and what is felt.
 

My paintings explore how landscape can be experienced both physically and through recollection. Rather than separating memory from place, I embrace the ways they distort and reshape one another. This ongoing enquiry connects my practice with ideas of psychogeography, phenomenology and the emotional mapping of place.
