My work has generally been based in a modernist British landscape tradition, inspired particularly by my regular visits to the Isle of Arran in the west of Scotland. The work develops through drawing, and working in acrylic and oil,partly on site and partly in the studio in London. My aim in this work is to make images which represent the place as I experience it, while focussing on the relationships of paint, form, colour and mark. A successful painting works first as an internally consistent arrangement of paint, but I also want it to be recognisably of a specific location.

Recently I have revived an interest in drawing as a medium in its own right, particularly in relation to the urban environment. This is leading me into the possibility of paintings based on my experience of the city, London, where I live.

Both rural and urban locations can lead to prints in different print media.
