Cuckoo Farm Studios

Statement

• I make vibrant abstract paintings inspired by the urban and rural environment.   From  photographic studies I select and emphasise rhythm, colour, shape and pattern, creating works on paper, canvas or board. I also use found or abandoned objects to make collage paintings and sculptural formations.  Strongly influenced by many contemporary abstract painters, my aim is to find new, individual means of expression.
