My work is not intended to be a faithful reproduction of the landscape before me. Instead I paint by feel. The paintings that evoke the most emotion are those completed on location where I am able to allow my surroundings and the weather to dictate how I proceed. I try not to worry about the ending, rather I let the painting unfold and track its own course across my paper.
Artist Bio: I was born in Cheltenham, England, in 1968, and moved to Kingston, Ontario in the winter of 1992. When I first arrived in Canada I was unable to work while I waited for my papers, so I made use of the time by enrolling in some art classes which I enjoyed very much. In 1996 I moved to Edmonton, Alberta and in 2002 graduated from the University of Alberta’s Extension center with a Fine Arts certificate. Since 2007 I have been pursuing my art full time and between May 2011 and January 2016 I co-owned and operated the Daffodil Gallery in the heart of Edmonton’s Gallery district.
