One of several 'studies' of Giverny, home of Claude Monet, carried out in 2020 on 20 x 20 cm canvases. These small formats (gradually put on sale with the #artistsupportpledge movement) have given rise to a series of larger ones of the same kind, typically 100 x 80 cm ...
This is painted on a canvas stretched over a deep frame, which gives a depth of 4 cm to the sides, and does not require framing.

I am a painter and arts educator dividing my time between England and France. Primarily, l'm working according to my 'synaesthetics' of places lived, frequented or visited fleetingly. Travel is a prime mover for me, followed by intense work in the studio in rural France.
Much travelled, I have exhibited throughout Europe (London and the north-east of England, but also Brussels, Berlin, Metz, Stuttgart, Split...) and permanently in Paris and Metz. I have work in collections throughout Britain, mainland Europe, Asia and the US.
Since january 2015, l have been basing paintings on the themes and locations central to the work of Claude Monet in France, a great inspiration; Giverny and his waterlily pond, the Normandy countryside, but also - as a kind of inverse pilgrimage - returning regularly to London to paint Westminster and the Thames, again with contemporary tools to hand; polaroid and collage, spraypaint and marker pens.
A common thread in my choice of motifs is water, it seems. In the paintings of Monet and the muddy reflections of the Thames is another interpretation of an otherwise familiar motif, a changeable, fleeting, underlying abstraction of the figurative world. It is that which l seek to fix and immortalise.
