Ouse valley 7 Painting

My artwork reflects the rich surrounding of the beautiful Sussex Downs landscape, its people and Lewes town where I live. With regular visits to my home country Sweden I draw inspiration from the mountains, forests and snowy landscape in the north. I'm a figurative painter and frequently come back to my favourite subjects of people and animals going about their business, or landscapes in different seasons. But I also like to experiment and take my subjects semi-abstract, and play with colour, shape and different mark making. As well as traditional brushes and palette knife, I often use simple tools at hand such as a wooden stick, part of plants or my bare hands.
