My work explores the potency of the North Norfolk landscape; both as a poetic and philosophical gesture. A download of physical energy, I want to embody the sensory experience of nature with daring mark making and uninhibited movement.

I draw inspiration from the colours and techniques of Old Masters including J. M. W. Turner and Eugène Delacroix, as well as the Romantic poetry of William Wordsworth. These are combined with contemporary pop culture references, incorporating colourways from fashion advertising and television series such as the period drama Bridgerton. Working from digital moving images, contemporary pigments, and frenetic 'colour beginnings' in multiple sketchbooks; I want to pursue my own experience of memory and place to create a feeling of sensory pleasure and spatial uncertainty in the work.
