My practice is currently exploring themes of ‘constructed’ landscapes, through the manipulation of imagery to construct new ‘realities’. The medium I use the most is oil paints, however I am constantly mixing media and experimenting with the effects and textures you can create. I have previously worked in other media including ink drawings, etchings and other prints. 

My work is created using found imagery, from both online and analogue sources which I then collage into a new image. The result, when painted, is of a constructed ‘land’ which is almost out of this world and slightly hard to comprehend or make sense of at points. When creating my paintings I deliberately leave areas where you can see the slicing and splicing of the images when in the Photoshop development stage. This, combined with my collage of techniques when painting, is the cause of such questions. Without the moments of overlap, you may not be able to deduce for yourself that these are not your typical landscape paintings.
