Combing my love of travel with adventure, I'm captivated by wide open spaces, dramatic coastlines and everchanging skies. My paintings are composed from a  photographic library, a fusion of elements translated onto canvas, creating atmosphere and drama. 

  Having a free and fluid mindset is as integral to my creative process as the act of making itself. I use audio and fragrance-based rituals as small cognitive cues to help me achieve a state of 'flow'. This helps me to work intuitively and intentionally on aconsistent basis.

Inspired by a love of nature, my aim as an artist is to draw viewers into my work. Colour and light are central to my paintings. The seasons, water and changing light all provide rich influences. My paintings are an emotional response to what I see, encouraging the viewer to find something different each time they look

British artist Dan Holden has developed a unique style, using the materiality of rough oriented strand board (OSB) combined with the viscosity of layered oil paint, to convey a positive emotional energy through abstracted forms.
