| Artist's Statement: | |
| My artwork is concerned with the colour and texture of landscape and in the form and significance of animals. The work moves between realism and abstraction, and between paintings on shaped canvases,[well primed board actually], and constructions. The constructions occupy an ambiguous space between thick painting and shallow wall-mounted sculpture. | |
