An oil painting capturing the bright golden sun reflecting on the snow. Both will soon be gone. The sun to rise another day, the snow to melt as Summer approaches.
I was born in Salford, studied in Leeds and now live in Eccles.
I have had over 20 exhibitions in city galleries across the Northwest and my work has featured in major exhibitions in the UK and USA. My paintings are in many private collections in Germany, Canada, Australia, Spain, Denmark, Hong Kong, UK and USA and covers a wide spectrum of styles and themes.
One of my main interests is the Northwest Landscape. Here my paintings focus on the hidden view rather than large panoramas. These are painted initially in watercolour and then translated in larger oil paintings. Freedom and spontaneity are important to me and the use of a palette knife in these works allows me to capture both.
My landscapes are fragmented, as natural sunlight filters through the branches, the images highlighted are the colours and shapes of nature. I hope, by the use of texture, to have captured the depth that can be found in woodland scenes.
