Artists Statement
My paintings are acrylic on board and are inspired by my immediate surroundings. The sea is prominent in much of my recent work, which has been produced on Islandmore, an otherwise uninhabited island on Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, where I am living and working at present. My studio is close to the edge of the lough and I paint directly from nature, without sketches or photographs, hoping to capture an immediacy in my work and therefore a sense of atmosphere and place.
