The trees I see again and again, day after day. At the edge of the land and sea they often stand alone, yielding yet unwavering to the extremes of nature. Familiar and comforting they have been a constant motif in my practice.
I repeat, rework, destroy and process. Manipulating oil paint to disconcert and surprise. To highlight and celebrate the sublime and surreal of the half remembered, half imagines, familiar places.
