Artist Statement
I have worked for 25 years as a commercial interior designer on projects for hotels , restaurants and bars. My love of working with fabric, materials and texture comes through into my paintly style with expressive use of paint and collage. My work is inspired by familiar landscapes around me from the Yorkshire Dales of my childhood to the Derbyshire Peaks and Staffordshire Moorland where I now live. I try to capture a sense of place, the feel of the air or the touch of the weather.
