Artist’s Statement
I find myself drawn to the same areas of Manchester to both sketch and paint due to their vibrancy, colour, architecture and light. This location is a busy junction where two major arteries into the city meet. It has a remarkable mixture of old Victorian Manchester and the incredibly modern. The railway bridge provides a useful horizontal in the composition and given the city's growth, buildings now grow around this location meaning that few of my paintings or drawings from this elevated point look the same.
