In the studio,

contemporary still life.

My studio still life compositions allow me to exercise a completely different creative muscle from the observation of my landscape and traditional still life work. I love to be able to juggle shape, pattern, colour and content to create these designs without too much adherence to the strictures of formal still life or perspective.  They are in essence collections of elements from my studio and indeed my life and, in their “picture making” owe much to my time spent in the graphic design industry. I like to include images from painters past, from those who have been an inspiration to me and to my work.
