ORIGINAL PAINTINGS
Landscape Inside out
This body of work , shared in a joint exhibition by the same name is inspired by the local landscapes: the moors, the woodland and the valleys between, that surround me in Saddlworth, NW UK. The abstract paintings evolved as an exploration of my impressions of these dramatic landscapes. They were developed over a 2 year period, consist of many layers of paint, collage and other media and explore aspects of the identity of these places: their marks, shapes, colours and energy during different seasons and weathers. They explore and show aspects of both time and place. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in purchasing a painting and would like additional information. If you are local and would like to purchase works, collection or delivery can be arranged.

‘I knew that you studied aspects of the landscape that a conventional artist would miss, then there is the studio magic too, so that the paintings are not a copy of the research but developed from the studies in your own unique way, giving me a heightened perspective of what it was like to be there. Thank you.’
