Artist Statement: My work is inspired by the natural world, and by those artists who represent it through its wonder and grandeur, and by allowing the mind to cross the boundary between the physical universe and the imaginary one. This cloudscape of emotions is seen through an interest in both abstract and representational painting.
Influences
The influences that have inspired me in my own journey are those artists such as Turner, who embraced the power and majesty of the natural world, and attempted to harness both it’s destructive force and its magical qualities to focus it (in a painting) into a single point of sublime beauty.
“Turner has some golden visions, glorious and beautiful,
they are only visions, but still they are art, and one could live
and die with such pictures.” (John Constable, 1776-1837)
