Abstract Paintings

I started to develop my abstract paintings in 2018 whilst in my gallery on Bembridge Harbour. I now have a studio on the Isle of Wight, where I am free to develop this work further.

Certain brushmarks seem to reoccur in my work at the moment. I’m interested in the action, and the uncertainty of “getting it right” first time around. Often, I don’t, and the paintings are a result of many workings and re-workings.

I do not want to intellectualise my work. As a huge fan of abstract work I know that sometimes even one simple brush mark on a plain canvas can make me feel incredibly happy when looking at it. This is all I am aiming for in my paintings, to create something the viewer won’t get tired of looking at, and something which gives a simple pleasure. I am influenced by colour combinations I see around me in nature, but beyond that, the paintings are instinctive, emotional and based around feelings rather than solid ideas.
