Statement:
My practice is about capturing a piece of time through the act of painting. Images emerge from an interchange between an evolving series of motifs and themes. I am particularly interested in colour, surface and space, both within the work and the space around it. I work from direct observation in sketchbooks and occasionally from photography and printmaking; processing ideas and establishing composition.
I have a wide range of influences, most recently American Painters, from Colour Field Painters like Rothko and Barnett Newman and hard edge Painters like Ellsworth Kelly. To more delicate Painters such as: Agnes Martin and the British Op artist, Bridget Riley. This is mainly due to their shared interest and exploration in the sensation of colour.
Education:
Foundation, University College Falmouth: 2004 - 2006
BA Fine Art, University College Falmouth: 2006 - 2011
MA Fine: Contemporary Practice, University Univeristy College Falmouth: 2011-2012
