In the ‘Snowscenes’ series, the usage of real trees, foliage, leaves and branches builds a sculptural effect into the paintings. This allows lighting to become an actor in its own right on the paintings, changing and evolving the work depending on the form and placement of the lighting.

The work therefore is not only a representation of the subject, it is created of the subject. This heightens the authenticity and impact of these works, the viewer becomes immersed and part of the painting itself. The ‘Snowscenes’  are therefore created in and of themselves, in a circular but dual reality.
