My paintings are imagined spaces based on memory, which are past experiences of landscape. There is reference to landscape but it is the emotional connection to landscape that is the point of inquiry. They are an intuitive response, giving an arena to explore and experiment. I work by building up delicate layers, using different techniques and weights of brushstroke, meeting with the painting as it changes. Landscapes become receptacles of us, they allow us the freedom to build our own internal landscape. An architectural response is beginning to emerge in some of the works; the spaces become rooms with discreet vistas emerging, solid spaces within the four lines of a rectangle.
