Although much of my work is landscape-based, I also like to mix it up with still life, portraits and sketches of my pets. The landscapes tend to focus on the Suffolk coast, countryside, and forest around my home. Other locations creep in, and also exhibit a number of mountain-inspired works in the French Alps.
The majority, however, are in and around the ancient wooded areas of Rendlesham, where the juxtaposition of the farming landscape with the ancient oaks and sliver birches provides endless subject matter. My approach means that light and colour dictate the look of the images, with a light, feathery brushstroke, or a quick, thickly laden rectangle of colour. Whilst much of my work is in oils, I love the instant effect of pastels and charcoal too. I'm now a Fine Art student at UoS and working in a diverse range of media - sculpture, print and digital works too.
