Place palettes

The practice
‘There is magic underfoot’
Work is made on the ground. Rucksack essentials consist of a surface to paint on, a couple of brushes, primary colours, a tube of white and a binding medium.
‘Hanging around’ in the landscape with no outcome in mind is an intentional stance. Something always occurs: the light changes, the tide turns, a particular rock formation crops up, an atmosphere shifts. Then, the work begins.

Studio Newsletter
I like to keep in touch via a personal Studio Newsletter a few times a year. I offer reflections about my practice as well as information about exhibitions, events and workshops — you’ll be the first to hear.
