Tom Thomson

Many aspects of my paintings have also been fed by an ongoing admiration for Canadian artist Tom Thomson. His nocturnes, birches and monumental skies are all elements that reappear in my work. My beech nocturnes, partly attributed to the children’s programme In The Night Garden, are also indebted to the immediate effect

About Me

The writer Michel Faber once described my work as 'excited despatches from remote places' and there is an element of truth in this. I am drawn to paint in places where the human imprint is small. But where is truly remote? I can get as much a sense of remoteness looking out my back door as I can from driving till the road runs out on the North West coast.
