I use paint, pencil, pastels and collage, building up my paintings layer by layer in an organic way
I’m an abstract painter working from my studio in Warwickshire. I create heartfelt, many layered abstract paintings with a joyful vibe. I often use recognisable elements such as a flower or boat shape, fragments of maps, or words just glimpsed. Although these ‘buried treasures’ appear in an abstract context, they retain echoes of meaning which tell a story to the viewer.
I use a range of materials: paint, pencil, pastels and collage, building up my paintings layer by layer in an organic way. This creates a hidden history, things half-seen, suggested. The more you look, the more you’ll see. I continue working until I feel harmony and balance has been achieved and the image has been “found”
