On Paper
This series of work focusses on the use of oil as the basis for creating work which attempts to capture energy in its many forms. This comes out of an obsession with the unseen forces around us and how these control our environment and our experience of it.
Experimenting with Different Surfaces
2020/21. Oil on Wood and Canvas board
These new works are the start of an investigation of different surfaces beyond paper to see how they respond to oil bar, my favoured medium in this series.
Triptychs: distilling the process
2017. Oil on Paper
My recent works on paper are part of a period of honing my process of working with oil on paper to create simple meditative work that has a depth and enables the viewer to see beyond the surface to energy and movement across scales.
Large Works on Paper: increasing scale and movement
2014. Oil on Paper
As I developed this series I moved up in scale, a relatively new experience as I find comfort in the small and focussed. This increase in scale challenged me to use my body as part of my process, rather than being controlled and I have been able to use and incorporate new movements to make marks and to express myself in a different way.

Movement on Paper: working actively with the surface
2014-2017. Oil on Paper
This series of work came out of a desire to be more actively involved in what I produce and not use alchemy in my usual way. The resulting work is much more direct and the relationship between myself and the work much closer as I've found different ways of creating marks using my hands to push and manipulate the oil.
