PAINTINGS

My paintings often start with ink or charcoal. Bold and gestural. These marks are softened under layers of gesso and acrylic paint. I rarely have a conscious plan, certainly no outcome. Painting for me is really just another form of deep listening. I love all parts of the process especially that knife edge moment of every painting when the only way to move it forward is to break the spell, roughen the edges, throw it off the cliff. That's when the magic happens.

I like to finish the work by sanding. This flat surface provides contrast to the many layers and the history of the piece. 

Finally, the painting is sealed and given a cold wax finish which gives a durable, soft sheen.

I work from my Studio in Ditchling, East Sussex, part of the Turner Dumbrell Foundation. We are a collective of 20 artist and makers with Studios and Workshops that are open to the public during the Artists Open Houses Festival in May (2022 at Dymocks End Studio No 7 on the Ditchling Trail) and by appointment.
​Ditchling is a small, very beautiful village in the South Downs National Park and as much as I love and miss Australia, I am very lucky to have landed here.
