Leading up to the LA Wildfires I was painting extreme weather conditions from home Webcams, and oddly luminous sunsets seen across London streetscapes, so the fires encroaching LA homes and filling news media immediate connected with my longstanding interest in places and their vibe, the past visible in the present, and a questioning of modernist values of which I am a product, futures which didn’t quite work out according to The Dream. 

I am highly influenced by the changing seasons, the ability of nature to quietly take over and the immersive experience of being submerged in nature.
