Statement

‘For me the process of painting is all about building up layers of paint to form texture. The Cornish landscape and the sea’s surrounding it can be so rugged and expressive it lends itself to an impasto technique. I mostly paint in oils using palette knife, fingers and found objects building up layers of texture with paint. My work aims to portray that mood and intensity that the sea and landscape have to offer’.
