With these Birch Tree paintings I have tried to capture the changing light and seasons in the woodland around my home in Kent. The pieces are executed with an underpainting of acrylic, layering of metal leaf and then finished in oil to give depth and luminosity to the painting.

These pieces are finished in high gloss epoxy resin giving the surface a glass like appearance. The luminosity and subtle overlayering of the underlying acrylic painting is difficult to capture with photography because of the reflective nature of the resin.

These paintings are executed in oil with gold and/or silver metal leaf which adds a luminous and ephemeral quality to the work. They are painted on aluminium, canvas and board. Some pieces have a high gloss resin finish (which, though beautiful to behold, are a little difficult to photograph because of the super shiny glasslike surface).

Framed, gilded panels which are created over several weeks - layering media including bole pigment, gilding waxes and lustrous gold and silver metal leaf. They are finished in a high gloss epoxy resin which protects the delicate surface and adds luminosity and depth to the painting.

'Without doubt I would characterise these pieces as metaphysical paintings. They shimmer and vibrate in an almost magical way. The complex and delicate interaction of the media employed produces work of outstanding elegance and sophistication.' Jude Cox, University of the Arts.
