Prints
Introduction to the Prints . . .
This collection of Archival Giclée Fine Art Prints are taken from an ongoing portfolio of contemporary atmospheric Welsh Landscapes that employ an alchemy of inks, pigments, solutions, soot, ash, charcoal, tannin, metal powders, graphite and anything else that happens to fall in my path.
“ I deeply love Wales and despite where I travel in the world its diversity and boundless beauty keep it very close to me , there is almost a genetic familiarity that tells my soul and senses that it is truly my home . “
“ My work is about mood , atmosphere , suggestion , texture and light . My primary drive in approaching landscape painting and drawing is not to ‘ only ’ capture the physical reality of that scene , but to ‘ fuel ’ this depiction with the feelings , sensations and emotions that the place has inspired in me . . . “

There is also a desire to share my fascination with the alchemy of inks , pigments and solutions that I employ , a hope that by relinquishing a little control it will allow the media and materials own voice and particular characteristics to shine through , for they are truly immense and infinite in their own right . A painter whose work I love speaks of her paints being “ a much better painter than she is ” , and I enormously empathise with this . I all too often totally lose my rag with something I am working on and ‘ cast it down ’ to the floor only to find that gravity , force mass motion and my solution have conspired to produce a mark or series of marks far more interesting than those I was actually trying to bloody paint !
