Artist's Statement

"My paintings gain their inspiration from the landscape of the Derbyshire Peak District. Although colours, textures and forms inherent in the landscape are an important factor, my work tends to be suggestive of natural form, rather than depictive. As such, it can be open to varying interpretation and so is, I feel, stimulating to the imagination. The landscape acts as a catalyst for the expression of what I have described as an 'inner painted world'."
