My work is response to the breath-taking but fragile beauty of the land; its atmosphere, rhythms and space. I create work that has, at their essence, a calmness and sense of space but also reflecting dramatic environmental changes. I use a combination of paint, photography and print to capture the striking consequence of the sea as it breaches the coastline and rivers overflow. I explore the ‘undiscovered country of the nearby’, by walking capturing the landscape as it rises from clearing mist. This intense experience becomes a captured moment, shifting the dynamic of traditional landscape painting.
