Biography.

I describe my works as abstract in the field of colour rather than imagery, as I believe a viewer should be provoked by what they feel and then see and believe they are seeing in each individual work rather than being prompted by an image or specific title (there is enough advertising about for that!).  My work is largely worked-up in acrylic, employing some mixed mediums, using palette knives as my preferred tool of application.  I work on canvas and paper. 

My influences are American Abstract Expressionists and Colour Field Painters – Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollack, William De Kooning, Clifford Still and Robert Motherwell to name a few!
