I am very aware of my environment at home and visually I like to use the landscape as a metaphor for change, in reality nothing stays still, there is always constant ebb and flux, the altered states of the seasons, endings and new beginnings.

All of my work is a direct result of my interaction with the landscape. The history of areas, the fragility of the natural world, and a sense of belonging are very important as well, and I try to incorporate them into my paintings.
I try to blend the elements of the fantastic, mythology and dreams in my work, describing the ephemeral, side by side with what is real.

Using a computer to make art is an incredibly exciting way of working. I
can integrate my drawings, as well as photographic images, textures,
found objects etc., by scanning them into the computer. I use software
that enables me to ‘paint’ directly into my work whilst it is on screen, using
different layers of work, and I can work into these very directly, adjusting
their characteristics with colour and texture. There are absolutely no limits
to the imagination.
