I am a painter-printmaker living in the heart of rural Norfolk and colour is very important to me. In order to achieve good colour harmony I work only with the three primary colours and white, from which all other colours are generated. In my mixed media paintings I explore form and colour at the boundary of abstraction and representation to create works which are not only visually stimulating but may trigger an internal music for the viewer, a form of synesthesia. It is important to me that when people look at my complex pictures they are able to see different things each time. I like to employ pieces of musical manuscript to emphasize the relationship between senses.This approach has enabled me to not only paint musicians but also the landscape around me.
As a printmaker I enjoy pushing the printmaking process beyond what is usually done, often using several processes together to create unique pieces of art as well as small limited editions. My lino-prints are also largely inspired by nature and are linked to my painting practice through the variety of mark making that can be achieved when creating a design. |
