PAINTINGS

My work explores the action of paint in various fluid states and the search for a light source which lifts the mind and spirit. Influenced by Catholic Christianity and the spiritual experience of viewing art, I create layers of strong colour exploring how each layer interacts as it dries and the visual effects of ageing, scraping away or washing over. Through this process I try to replicate the weathering effect of nature on surfaces, resulting in an organic style reminiscent of abstract expressionism and colour field painting.
