My paintings are rooted in the spiritual perspective of the Visionary Landscape Tradition, and strive to develop the idea that emotions and memory reside in something primal and intuitive.

My experiences and observations of light and weather during a local daily walk  form the kernel of my artistic practice. Focusing on the transient movement of my shadow passing through that space, my work considers how it is transformed through memory and perception on return to my studio. Standing between memories evoked by my shadow and the horizon beyond, the work invites the viewer into an ambiguous liminal territory which hovers between nostalgic association and something unknown.
