“Don’t Fence Me In includes work that has allowed me the freedom to express an emotional response to the world in all its’ complexity. My work takes its lead from the representational landscape image and explores the space between it and the abstract. I allow the paint to dictate the direction in the creative process, with a focus on experimenting with colour, mood and various methods of applying the paint.

Influenced by the abstract expressionist work of the 40s and 50s, my intention is to create an impact which furthers the viewer’s curiosity.”
