Biography:

Looking at art has always been important to me but trying to create it myself came later in life.
Working mostly with mixed media, I like interpreting the textures, shapes and colours of landscapes in a semi-abstract /stylised way. Learning with inspirational tutors continues to be an enabling experience and gives me the confidence to experiment with techniques and materials. I prefer a ‘process-led ‘ approach – responding to the painting as it develops, often with the ‘history’ of the painting visible in layers and brush-marks. I like allowing the image to appear, without imposing a preconceived idea or trying to make an accurate representation of the subject. So, each piece remains very much a challenging journey of trial and error ….but with (I hope!) some pleasing surprises and outcomes as part of the process!
I enjoy taking part in exhibitions and open studios. It’s a great compliment when someone chooses something that you have created.
