About my practice

The themes I employ in my painting are many and varied. However, all are united by how they may be represented through painting. 

Painting itself is the primary subject. Whether the motif is cityscapes from google earth, bone structure of dinosaurs or altered states of consciousness, the main thing is how to deal with it in painting. 

For the last couple of years  I have been drawing and painting the structure and form of tree bark. Beginning from a closely observed viewpoint has led me on to explore the potential for representing the abstract qualities of this surface.
