Abstract Paintings

Most of my paintings are completely abstract, concerned with colour, texture and surface, comprising multiple layers of images.  My aim is to produce something beautiful which is not obviously related to anything in the real world.  The layers which are mostly concealed are as important to the final result as those which are most visible. My intention is not that the viewer should be drawn to any focal point, but that the eye should range over the surface, sometimes pausing to take in the detail of each area. 


While the end result is abstract, the starting point of each work is always a visual experience in the real world – a visual detail, a landscape, perhaps a building or some other work of art.  I try to transform that visual experience into something new, something which has not appeared in the real world before.


Nearly all the paintings are for sale, and prices start from under £200. I will also undertake commissions.
