Watercolour with ink and pastel on high quality watercolour paper. Inspired by daily walks and sketching in my local forest. I'm fascinated by the way it changes with every day and in different weather and lighting conditions. This was a particularly windy day when everything seemed to be in motion. Inspired by Turner and Monet as well as contemporary artists Chu Teh Chun and Cruz Jimenez.

My work lies somewhere between abstraction and naturalism. I think of them as ‘dreamscapes’—part memory, part imagination. I usually begin with images of natural elements such as flora and fauna or figurative elements. The finished works are sometimes purely abstract, sometimes more representational. The most successful ones have a mysterious, hard to read quality and a feeling of impermanence. The process is as important as the subject to me. I apply multiple layers over a long period of time, scratching and sanding back to reveal temporarily hidden elements that then inspire further marks.
