Biography
I am fascinated by the effects of light, by texture and natural forms, by shape and colour in nature. I like the effects of weather and age on natural or manmade surfaces. I try to reflect these in my work. I love the versatility of acrylic and by using acrylic and mixed media. I try to incorporate bright colours and textures into my paintings, which lean toward the semi abstract. I am a regular exhibitor throughout Buckinghamshire including at the Bucks Art Society Exhibitions, Mentmore Arts Festival, Bucks Art Weeks, Obsidian Gallery, Bucks County Museum and various art festivals. I have exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists exhibition and the ING Discerning Eye exhibition, both at the Mall Galleries in central London and at ‘Not the Royal Academy’ at the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery, London. At The Crypt Gallery, St. Ives and The John Rank Gallery, Chichester I have exhibited with members of the National Acrylic Painters Association. I held solo art exhibitions at Claydon Estate Courtyard, 2018, and at the Three Hares Gallery in the Cowper and Newton Museum 2021. I have also exhibited with the Oxford Art Society and in ‘The People’s Landscape exhibition’ at Claydon House. I have written tutorials for ‘Paint’ magazine issued by the SAA and the ‘Leisure Painter’ Magazine. I have sold to private collections both home and abroad. I am an elected member and Chair of the Buckinghamshire Art Society, member of the National Acrylic Painters Association and member of the Visual Images Group. I teach a regular drawing and painting class at the Queens Park Arts Centre and guest tutor at other local groups.
