My work approaches themes of Landscape through the lens of gardens. As a gardener and horticulturalist, the climate and weather are determining factors in my working day. We are witnessing dramatic, unseasonal and severe weather nation and worldwide and my practices of gardening and painting put me in contact with this change daily. Through abstraction I aim to give non-figurative visual language to the contemporary experience of being in Landscape. This painting touches on the friendships that develop due to the regular visiting that comes with garden maintenance.
