I work in a nature inspired landscape tradition in painting and printmaking, drawing inspiration from the world around me as I travel. Our experience of landscape is often caught in partial glimpses, a series of snapshots piled into the memory and recomposed in the accounting of.
The prints are derived from a variety of sources, often from photographs taken ‘in transit’ and used to engender memories of journeys made and places seen. Rather than portraying particular 'places', I am inspired by memories and the emotional resonances experienced on the journey.
