Taking Shape: To sketch outdoors is to work in an endless playground of shapes and space; I make paintings to complete the puzzle.

‘For me, drawing the landscape is a matter of recording shapes. Variety and change are the only constant factors when working outdoors. For me, sketching in my favourite places is like being in an endless playground of shapes; using those sketches to make paintings is the same as assembling puzzles.'
