WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE?
Originals: when creating original artworks I use premium artists canvas and the best quality oil colors.
Prints: all prints are hand produced in Denmark.
They are carefully profiled for fantastically accurate and consistent reproductions using superior giclée printing techniques, that last a lifetime (100+ years) with appropriate care.
Prints are hand produced using Hahnemulle Photo Rag premium fine art paper (310gsm) or premium (Daguerre) fine art quality canvas (400gsm)
The prints are exceptional quality and capture almost all the detail of the original.
IS THERE A WAY TO SEE WHAT THE ARTWORK MIGHT LOOK LIKE ON MY WALL BEFORE BUYING?
Yes, if you are on my mailing list, you can request a room 'mockup'. Simply send me a picture of the wall you'd like to place the art on, with some of the room included in the shot, and I will create a mockup for you to show you how the artwork will look in situ.
WHAT IS YOUR PROCESS?
I attempt to use the medium to create paintings that respond to the atmosphere of my surroundings. I look both inward and outward and in the moment of painting, I find my way on the canvas which is my approach to creating paintings infused with the emotional immediate memory of landscape.
The atmospheric element of my work is a testament to my desire to create spaces that are sometimes undefined, contemplative and allow room to reflect and accept uncertainty.
Nature is used both in the conceptualization of the work and as a part of the studio practice. I use layers of colors that reveals forms by concealing and unearthing pentimenti and suggests elements of landscape in the process of painting.
