Artist's Statement

I manipulate images based on landscapes using a variety of media, sometimes detailed and intricate, sometimes abstract and free. My work focuses on significant forms, patterns and colour combinations in nature.  The vivid colours and long shadows produced by early morning and late afternoon sunshine are of particular importance to me.  I also have a fascination with doors, windows and archways which draw the eye into the picture and encourage the viewer to speculate about what lies beyond.  I often use chine collé to introduce colour to my etchings and produce etching monoprints and small editions.

The eye may be caught by a distant horizon, or drawn in to examine more closely a small fragment of the landscape.  I aim to convey the experience of being in the landscape, be it rural or urban.
