Inspiration for my paintings comes from a variety of sources. My childhood in the Suffolk countryside, where Gainsborough and Constable lived and worked two centuries earlier, fired my imagination and has provided me with a constant wealth of ideas and vision that persist into the present day. I remain attuned to the natural world around me, and closely observe the relationships between earth, tree, and sky, absorbing scenes and images into memory and later infusing my work with their influence.
My painting techniques are inspired in part through close contemplation of the paintings of the Old Masters, with particular attention to the mood and atmosphere invoked by the quality of ageing suggested by their faded, cracked, and heavily varnished surfaces. I draw inspiration from the past to evoke a sense of time, place, and memory, creating images with a complex texture that inspire feelings of recognition and belonging in the viewer. His beautifully executed paintings have added elegance, sophistication and timelessness into a wide array of corporate, hospitality and residential interiors.
