I am interested in conveying a sense of a place, and while the experience and observations might be personal to me, to bring the viewer along to visually explore.
My current body of work is based on time slowing down these past months and creative input coming from places close by.
Coming to terms with a new way of living and the emotional rollercoaster attached to daily changing restrictions resulted in a new way of creating and looking.
This work reflects the liveliness in the stillness found sitting on the ground being surrounded by itching nettles, flying and crawling insects, new blossoms and dying weeds with a gust of wind and seasons rearranging the setting and sittings. Environments close to my home, brimming with life when looking close up end up expressed on large canvases, translating sounds, colour pops, growth, the weather and feel of the place with paint into visual experiences.
The Ditch next door, abandoned farm gardens, the old woodland by the village crossroads, these places informed my new body of work.
