The places I have lived in (Shetland, Cornwall and Norfolk) influence my painting enormously in terms of colour and subject matter. I prefer to paint from memory, it helps me to reflect purely on what was interesting to me about that scene originally. I sometimes make quick drawings, these help embed visual memories for later use.Oil paint is my favourite medium and I love to use collage alongside it, making use of the contrast between the sharply cut edges and brush strokes. When painting, I try not to follow any rules, relying instead on intuition, instinct and a host of stored visual references.
