artists statement

Image: "Eternal Summer",watercolour.

I make paintings and collages in a mixture of media, mainly watercolour. I am also a printmaker, working with etching, relief printing and monoprint. Recently I have been interested in the intrinsic qualities of print, the imprints of things and beginning to incorporate this into my painting.
My intention is to create images that are atmospheric and full enough of content to be lived with over time. The surfaces contain rich colours and textures in many layers to maintain the eye’s interest. The imagery contains metaphorical, allusive layers of meaning. My images are figurative and narrative, but not literal. By using archetypal images I hope to awaken resonances within the viewer. I believe in the power of colour to awaken and allow a range of emotions. In particular I aim to uplift and inspire.
