My work is based on the North Pennines landscape around my studio, right at the edge of Eden, and with occasional references to Argyll. I try to show the relationships between humankind, the natural environment, time and weather. Although I paint mostly in oils, I use any media I can, from natural grounds and pigments to acrylics. I also enjoy incorporating reclaimed materials into my paintings, and seeking to expand my media to include lime, clay, timber and raw pigment in my MA studies.
