"Initially influenced by the flattened space and decorative qualities of the Quattrocento and primitive Sienese painting my work has developed within a duality of landscape and still life. The former are often landscapes created or recalled. Memories of special places. The objects in the still life paintings have their own space and aura and form tableaux or placements. I work in oils."
