Artist´s Profile
As a visually impaired artist, Keith has had to find ways that allow him to produce visual materials with very limited vision. Keith continues to paint places he is familiar with through memory. 
Keith's work is based on places known to him, although do not always show what he sees but rather it is more about how he senses his surroundings.
Through time Keith's images have become more distorted and broken, while his drawings he describes as "numerous coloured lines woven together like organised scribbles"
His paintings are textured by dramatically "bludgeoning the paint into place" with the surface scraped and rebuilt to form overlapping layers of colour.
