As a landscape painter lucky enough to live in Wiltshire, I have access to incredibly beautiful countryside that provides me with a wealth of inspiration for painting and drawing. The briefest walk outside can spark ideas for composition, colour and most importantly, atmosphere, a key element that I aim to include in my work.

Sketching in location to capture the perspective and dimensions of a view, I use this information together with photographs and notes to complete paintings in my studio.

Some ideas need different materials to be realised fully, and drawn elements are often included to give structure to a painting. These elements can become buried in translucent layers of colour, but form an integral part of my process.
