New Works 2016
'From The Mountains to the Sea'
This series of work is focusing in the beauty of the natural and man-made environments. This series was started in Okehampton in Devon where there are beautiful woods, parks and the Dartmoor national park on the horizon and is now continuing in Cornwall with the coastlines and creeks of the south coast. I travel frequently to different places and all of these new paintings contain a essence of a whole array of locations; from North Wales where I grew up, to Romania, Spain and Denmark where I have visited in the last few years.

Narrative Paintings
These are a series of narrative paintings. Each has a story to tell. Abstracted and painted as very personal pieces, symbolism plays a large part in these works. It does not matter how each person reads these pieces, whether a story they may construct differs from what I would make from them, or if the viewer merely sees forms and colours. Art is such a personal thing and the story you make will never be wrong, because like music, art is there to be interpreted by the viewer in whatever way they see fit.
______________________________________________________________________________________
These pieces are very much about the fluidity of line; pattern and colour. That is not to say they have no meaning. This was merely my first concern. At this time I was making some of the sculptures and experimenting with construction and materials. This I believe is reflected in these paintings. The important elements are far more akin to what is important in a three dimensional composition.

Cyprus
'Migrations'. Oil, Acrylic and Varnish on Hessian. 1m x 4m.
With these paintings I was enjoying the process of using the paint and how that linked to ink drawing. I believe art is about initiative, impulsiveness and capturing a fleeting thought or feeling, a presence and essence, and this I hope, is what these paintings do.
