Artist Statement

Inspired by liminal spaces – areas between one point in time and space and the next – I seek to depict a space where viewers teeter between a public and private sphere, or a public and domestic sphere, between the known and unknown, the familiar and uncanny and comfort and danger. The scenes are often (though not exclusively) caught at dusk or night time which lend the scenes a further sense of eeriness and mystery, feelings often associated with liminal spaces.

Although my paintings are based on specific places I have experienced and observed I intend the landscape to serve as an ‘everywhere’ or ‘nowhere’. They are representative of a psychological space rather than a physical description.
