Abstract Landscapes

About

My abstract landscape paintings are not necessarily grounded in the reality of a place, but are often imagined, with an occasional, tenuous link to a real place or memory. They are meditative atmospheric spaces, to dream and escape, almost inner landscapes which are emotional responses to memories or my feelings about a place I may have been to, dreamed, or imagined. Half remembered, half forgotten, I’m attempting to draw you in to my abstracted space, to immerse you visually, so you may decide what you see and what that means to you. They aim to stir an emotional response within the viewer. They may remind you of a place you think you may have been but may not fully recall. When you engage with the paintings, you may experience mists or stillness, changing weather, showers, breezes or a moment away from the craziness of our everyday lives
