My work is mostly made in response to events, encounters, sensations, in my  life. I paint in a visceral, fairly intuitive way, like a sort of diary; more impulse than  rigour, but still it engages my values and identity in this moment.  I paint intuitively but reflectively. I’m sketching more now too, drawing interiors and landscapes in  part as a process. Lockdown’s  side effects are grist for the mill but are too scary to contemplate right now so the visual order emerging needs to be a soothing balm. I’m just exploring ways of looking, and being and enjoying the landscape. I love the meditative nature of painting in my studio and immersing myself in the stillness of that space. A welcome respite.
