Abstract

My recent landscape paintings are meditations on perception and place. Using only oil paint and pigment sticks, I build and erode layers of colour to create atmospheric horizons where mist rises from unseen lakes and ridgelines dissolve into cloud. The process is intuitive and contemplative; I let the surface evolve through months of glazing, scraping and rewriting until textures emerge that recall weathered stone or the bark of ancient trees
.
Although abstracted, these works are informed by my imagination and memories of living near the sea and under Mediterranean skies in Hawaii, Barcelona, Cadaqués and the South of France. Subtle greys and ochres are punctuated by birds in flight or the glint of a distant sun, suggesting both stillness and movement. I hope each canvas offers a quiet space in which viewers can pause and feel connected to something vast and timeless
