Cubism and the Contemporary Painter
I have always considered Cubism to be the key movement in the development of contemporary art — the ultimate catalyst, a clean break with tradition and a revolutionary way of seeing, interpreting, and reconstructing the material world through painting. After Cubism, there could be no return to the false comforts and certainties of representational painting. It fatally undermined conventional ways of recording what we see. For the first time, the supremacy of Renaissance persp

'A Stolen View' — Landscape Painting and the Question of Access
I always return to the forest as a subject for painting. It is a source of limitless fascination and inspiration. I create these forest paintings primarily from memory. I do have photographs taken at various locations, but I rarely use them to complete a painting. They may offer a starting point, a way of seeing, or a particular quality of light — but ultimately a painting has to work on its own terms. Effective paintings have a convincing internal character and consistency.

Cambridge Open Studios, July 2021
Cambridge Open Studios, July 2021 In July 2021 I participated in Cambridge Open Studios — an annual event that opens artists' studios to the public across the Cambridge area. Open Studios is one of the most direct forms of engagement between artists and their audience: visitors come to the studio, see the work in the context in which it was made, and have the opportunity to talk with the artist about the process and the ideas behind the paintings. The Studio The studio is the

Fields, Rivers and Dreams — The Fenland Landscape from Above
Fields, Rivers and Dreams — The Fenland Landscape from Above Seen from above, the Cambridgeshire Fenlands reveal a geometry that is invisible at ground level. The dykes and drains run in straight lines across the flat terrain, dividing the land into rectangles and parallelograms of varying colour and texture. The rivers wind between them, their curves a counterpoint to the rigidity of the drainage system. From the air, the Fens look like a vast, abstract painting — a composit

'Reflections in the New Forest' — Artist Residency Work
'Reflections in the New Forest' — Artist Residency Work 'Reflections in the New Forest' is one of a group of paintings made during my residency in the New Forest. The title refers both to the literal reflections of trees and sky in the forest pools and streams, and to the more general quality of reflection — of looking back, of seeing the landscape in relation to memory and experience — that the residency encouraged. The Residency The New Forest residency was a period of sust

Gestural Painting — Scale, Movement and the Large Acrylic
Gestural Painting — Scale, Movement and the Large Acrylic Gestural painting is, at its most fundamental, a record of physical movement. The marks on the canvas are traces of the body in motion — the arm, the wrist, the hand — and the energy of that movement is preserved in the dried paint. Working at a large scale amplifies this quality: the whole body becomes involved in the act of painting, and the resulting marks carry a physical presence that smaller-scale work cannot ach

Saturated Colour and Abstraction — Acrylic on Canvas
Saturated Colour and Abstraction — Acrylic on Canvas This group of paintings explores the expressive possibilities of saturated colour in an abstract context. Colour, in these works, is not descriptive — it does not refer to the colour of a specific landscape or object — but structural: it organises the composition, creates spatial relationships, and generates emotional resonance. Acrylic and Colour Acrylic paint is particularly well suited to the exploration of saturated col
