I am an artist working on the North East Coast. In my youth I studied Fine Art at Newcastle University, but subsequently life and work got in the way and I stopped doing creative work of my own. I have now returned to painting after forty years and am enjoying it
Many of my pictures are about time and memory, but in the past two years I have been working on a series of Covid Landscapes. These are concerned with parts of my personal environment, felt and experienced more deeply in Covid isolation. Colour and atmosphere are intensified, as the everyday is examined more minutely, time is elastic
