ORIGINAL PAINTINGS
“The paintings are loaded with emotion relating to my roots and journey – there is no break between the past and present. They’re intimate maps of the landscape, telling the story of a slow constant journey. Signs and layers of the past, from which I create my own identity and visual language, appear as fragments or secrets – suspended in memory and seen close up.”
Taking the notion of ‘journeys’ as a starting point, my new body of work invites you to traverse painterly landscapes as a personal journey of the places, images and emotions of my life.
From growing up in the coal mining valleys of South Wales, to holidays exploring the Pembrokeshire coastal path and the emotive landscapes of Sussex, the images that emerge are bold and energetic as though caught in perpetual motion.
