A painter and printmaker using abstract forms from the landscape;  mixing ancient parts of Bristol's architecture with urban industrial areas. Working towards a new series of paintings which are collectively titled 'out of order'. The pictures are serious yet contain comic elements. And although loss is the underlying subject matter there is also something about a universal love of life. 

The paintings are made on canvas over a long period of time with layers of collaged material. These fragments are pieced together slowly and combine elements of drawing, printmaking and painting. The materials include raw canvas, wax, felt, rice paper, cardboard packaging and gesso. The colour in the paintings is a range of pink, yellow ochre with drawn details in black ink and wax. The overlapping layers create a landscape which is rich and thoughtful within which there are elements appearing and lost under the surface.
