I paint luminous atmospheric landscapes that are inspired as much by memory as by place. Working in oil and cold wax from my studio in Wales, I explore the shifting relationship between weather, light and landscape, creating paintings that sit somewhere between recognition and recollection. I am drawn to hidden horizons, distant weather, and the fleeting moments when light emerges through mist or cloud. Rather than capturing specific locations, I aim to evoke places that feel remembered, inviting viewers to find their own stories and experiences within the work. Through layers of paint, wax and surface history, my paintings become reflections on atmosphere, memory and the emotional pull of landscape.
