“Whatever one is painting is the record of a moment.  I believe painting exists precisely in order to relate out subjective experience, our feelings to our objective setting. In painting merely to observe is to subscribe to the heresy of realism, and merely to project a rhythm is to subscribe to the opposite heresy of non-figuration.  Great painting lies between the two and performs the function of both.” Patrick Heron 1955

I’ve been selected for a group exhibition of abstract expressionist painters in Sheffield.

Collagraphs made during my course at Hotbed Press.  Cutting into board and adding material to create texture is a process that really intrigues me and helps me to develop my sketches and work from memory.  I am planning to use more of my landscape and geology sketches in this way.   These landscapes are from sketches and memory of Cotton Tree, in Queensland, Australia.  I am also working with sketches of rocks in formations that often defy gravity, made around Kinder Scout in the Peak District.
