Statement

Currently based at the Watermark studios in Preston.  I am a painter working in mixed media.  I have always had a fascination with the elements and environment here on earth and the planets in our solar system, the source of my latest paintings come from images taken from space as they orbit our world.  I take images not normally seen with the naked eye and then try to recreate within my paintings the power and energy of the storms, explosions and swirls, the calmness, stillness and tranquillity as well as all the amazing colours that surround us.
