Locality consists of spaces in which we are drawn outside ourselves, and in which the erosion of our lives takes place. Impressions of the landscape capture the essence of a space and time, emotional, thoughtful, and personal, and a basis for a visual vocabulary that is more universal, therefore the painting is an experience rather than a view and has its own internal visual logic so it can function as an artwork. I describe my work as influenced by inner factors, intuitive, related to memories, senses, emotions. Time found in space stilled. The landscape as a reflection of my own condition. To quote Camille Souter: ‘Painting has gathered time into its being, almost as if it is a conversation.’
