Reflections and impressions

 A strange and beautiful landscape, an aerial view, a play of light over water, or a perfect reflection. It is the sheer wonder and feeling of what I am seeing that drives me in my painting. I need time and distance to fully absorb these memories before the paintings start to emerge.

There are works inspired by travels and memories, the extraordinary limestone mountains rising out of the Li and Yulong rivers in Southern China. Others are Taken from walks along the Thames footpath closer to home in London.  I play with translucent shapes, abstracting forms from these enduring memories, creating ambiguous scenes that capture the sensation of moving through a landscape.

There are mirror-like paintings rather like meditations, where I am looking right into a reflection. The paintings become transcendental, inspiring echoes of other places in the mind of the viewer. as a form of fusion between time and space.
