From my small kitchen in West Sussex, I subconsciously paint, what I feel are baron, isolated landscapes. As part of the Niotheis collection, 'We feel', the works evoke a ghostly sense of calm and peace. The hopeful undertones of ochre and umber play as much a part of this painting as the deep black and the illuminous whites. Reflecting to my own responses to Rothko and even Turner, I would like to think that this body of work stirs an emotion in the viewer and invites them to stare, gaze and feel.
