My work explores nature and it's pervasive place in the urban landscape. Soft edges, hard lines, organic shapes and deliberate forms all inform this idea of organic amongst the structured. By exploring the application of the paint on the canvas, board or panel, the act of deliberate mark making dictates the progression of the piece.
