Artist’s Statement

“The recurring inspiration for my work is the flora and fauna of the British countryside. My studio looks out over the Rutland landscape; the view is of sheep fields and English farmland, which are often represented in my work. The soft green, greys and blues of this landscape are a backdrop used in my paintings and prints. The work is not a literal portrait but attempt to capture a distinct mood and atmosphere. My work has an allegorical aspect that has reference to British painting of the 30’s, 40′s and 50′s, and the work of artist such as Eric Ravillious, David Jones and Winifred Nicolson.”
