I work in a variety of styles, media and scale, from the figurative through to the abstracted.
The art is an interlocking of the rhythms and movement within the land, sea and sky, and a reaction to local weathers.
It generates its own force-field, and is a re-ordering to myself of the Cornish experience - a tuning-in to the powerful energies that exist just beneath the surface.
Thomas Hardy called this area 'Off-Wessex' and my work responds to this 'otherness' of Cornwall, a place of edge and unique identity that both challenges and inspires.

Following the route taken by Cornish emigrants, re-visiting Australia opened my work up to the palette of a different 'iron land'.

Since returning, I have been working on a series of paintings using recurrent motifs: boats; chapels; harbours; ruined castles and mine-buildings; sun/moon discs; distant islands and headlands.
These are sometimes set within the traditional formality of a window-frame with attendant still-life jugs and amphora.

I am currently developing work using various printing techniques in order to expand the range of my visual language and explore new possibilities of expression.
