I paint peak district landscapes in styles between classic and modern on canvases using a mix of acrylics and oils.

Landscape painting to me is not about the technique of applying paint to a canvas, it is about the way the eye and the brain knows, interprets and understands the effect of light on coloured surfaces.

I strive to emote memories in the viewer of landscapes seen before by the use of what are only, after all merely two dimensional painted cues.

I am fascinated with the interplay of light, colour and meaning, our eyes are a part of our brain and what we see with is modelled into reality by our minds and this is what I am exploring in my work.

My Father and his father before him were painters too - I like to think we have all been trying to understand the way we see landscape.
