Statement :

My artwork gains it's inspiration from architecture and the urban, the cityscapes in which we live and are surrounded by. I am continually driven by the energy of colour and it's effects on a scene. Recent technology, particularly the digital cameras found on smartphones, have enabled me to harness unusual low level lighting conditions on buildings and this has been a focus for my work at present.

Although I have been inspired by past artists such as Edward Hopper and Giorgio Morandi, I love seeing contemporary, thought provoking paintings by Anna Conway, prints by Simon Tozer and photography by Russell Watkins.
