The images in my work come from an inner landscape of memory and imagination. The paintings take the viewer on a journey through places which might seem familiar and yet exist only in the mind of the artist.
The work is often deliberately ambiguous, drawing on the imagery of dreams where scale is unpredictable and isolated objects materialise in unexpected situations.
It is unclear whether we are looking at land or water and, when figures appear, we don't know what has brought them to this place or where they are going.
