Artist Statement  
I make paintings of imagined places, concerning the human condition, my hidden experiences.  Beginning with a coloured ground of heavy bodied acrylic, lines of ink are dripped onto the canvas, tilted at varying angles to offer a fresh starting point.  I am interested in how colour, shape and line develop the psychology of landscape.  Moon soaked blues are chosen for their emotive, nocturnal qualities, while more earthy colours have begun to denote day.  As imagery emerge, emotional responses to personal experience, memory or place arise.  Solitary figures appear in contemplative guises, representing inner realities.  My intention is for the viewer to escape into and explore these imagined places, with their linear structures and off-kilter habitats.​
