Artist Statement
Field Days
My latest series of watercolour paintings have been inspired by country walks, farming and fields. I try and capture the connection between ourselves and the landscape and use old barns, patterns and pathways as inspiration for imaginary journeys.
I have always loved the watercolours of Eric Ravilious, and the lino cuts of Robert Tavener and Sybil Andrews. More recently I have discovered the figurative paintings of the American artist Will Barnet. I love the simplicity of his compositions and the mood he evokes.
