Artist Statement

This new body of work has been developed from thinking on painting for a year and a half and a need to return to it. Within that time I was doing a lot of walking and exploring, creating a lot of photographic imagery of natures colours patterns and scenery. It was during this time that I really started to become fixated with the palette of autumn. I really wanted to capture the glances of light and colour from my surroundings back onto the canvas. Getting back into the studio was a grounding experience . It was good to be back but the thumbnails, sketches and studies at first didn’t seem to have an immediate connection with the body of material I had collected.

But once the painting had developed on the road to a body of work, it became very evident that there was a direct visual communication between what had seeped into my mind and what I was reproducing onto the canvas. That’s why the title is ‘WITHDRAW’ meaning to withdraw something from something else, because even though the work wasn’t an exact representation of the landscape, it became apparent that elements of shapes, colours and pattens referenced in the paintings summed up the work.
