- Techniques and Mediums
- Scale
- Small to large-scale paintings (60cm x 80cm up to 220cm x 195cm documented)
- Medium
- Oil on linen, oil on panel
- Palette
- Seasonal - vibrant reds and greens (spring/summer) shift to vivid yellows, ochres, and smouldering browns (autumn/winter). Golden light quality compared to Samuel Palmer.
- Composition
- Immersive landscapes that fill the canvas. Nature as overwhelming presence. No horizon lines or human scale markers.
- Unique Elements
- Wooden cut-out paintings, integrated sculptural elements (documented in Jupiter Artland show)
- Signature Technique
- Continuous swirling, overlapping brushstrokes that unify all surfaces. Creates texture that 'entwines figures with surroundings.' Trance-like repetitive mark-making.
- Material Innovations
- Uses beeswax medium to thicken paint for specific textural effects (rotting trees, moss). Varies paint consistency (wet vs. thick) for different effects.
