​

My current paintings and drawings are concerned with personal memories, particularly of places, and how these fade and change the reality. Through recall, observation and research, I work through memories changing the images as clarity or new information emerges.

​

In the Pentimenti paintings, I explored  altered images, allowing the changes, alterations and corrections of the memories to create a history of shapes, lines and colours. These elements start to dictate their own balance and composition, a release from the representational.  

​

The Chronicles series followed on from Pentimenti and includes mixed media drawings. Taking the ideas and memories further, weaving text in and out of the images with texture becoming more evident.

More recently a number of commissions have led into semi abstract landscapes and more abstract sea and sky scapes.
