“My interest in painting has developed through wide reading, observation, and endless experimentation. My architectural training has probably influenced my interest in creating strong, but balanced asymmetrical compositions and my choice of colours, which tend to be from a limited palette. Through my work I try to capture the moods of the Black Mountains and the National Parks of Wales - we are lucky to have such fascinating landscapes on our doorstep. The Black Mountains offer an excellent blend of buildings and landscape – old farms, chapels, valleys and ridge walks, within the larger setting of the Brecon Beacons which bring waterfalls, the canal and some significant mountain peaks. My intention is to create highly textured images of the Welsh landscape presented with contrast and bordering on the semi-abstract.”
