Neither an abstract or traditional artist, my work is perhaps best described as 'non-figurative'. I focus on mood and ambience rather than literal subject matter. My present work, inspired by Venice, illustrates my present obsession with the playfulness of colour and light found around the Mediterranean.

 

Fundamentally I find beauty in things that are commonplace. I feel inspired by the beauty of patina, and how environments are affected by the elements. I see beauty in deterioration- the crumbling facades of Venice provide an excellent staring point for my work. My intention is to invite viewers on a journey through texture and light, to realize the beauty within the ordinary.
