In my art practice I am interested in the unique individuality of each person's experience, drawing on my history as a psychotherapist and understanding of metaphor, symbolism and unconscious associations and meaning.
Some of the key ideas in my work are about nature, archaeology, and time. The ephemeral nature of things juxtaposed with the continuity of place and human experience. These themes are present in my work in how it may be experienced rather than as obvious visual references. They emerge in the way I make use of surface texture, paint handling and line. I am particularly interested in stimulating imagination in the viewer through curiosity and evoking a sense of connection to history, place, and people through oblique references of form alongside layering and texture in the painting.
I mostly work in series, where I will be exploring and immersing myself in a theme, question, or idea. These explorations can go in many different directions where I might be using a different palette, materials, size of piece, techniques or pushing and developing the original concept. A series of work will usually be about 10 to 15 paintings.
My work is predominately mixed media. This includes acrylic paint combined with pencil crayon, graphite, oil and wax pastels, collage and textiles.
My imagery is all internal although indirect references can be seen in my work to architectural subjects like bridges, boats, rust, ageing metal and wood. Supporting my artistic process I photograph these subjects and in the process of focusing and composing the images, I am feeding my internal imagery.
