Coastal landscapes offer me a creative beginning for my work as an oil painter and land, sea and sky often come together as a mixture of precise and experimental mark making. My work attempts to show a moment in time while

suggesting a sense of timelessness moving between realism and abstraction within different parts of the painting capturing atmosphere and an undefined narrative. The figure is also heavily represented in my work either in a very specific recognisable way or as an anonymous being channelling memory and pinning down a sense of place. Artist in residence 30th  October – 12th November
