I work predominately in oils and enjoy the optical range that can be achieved with oils from translucency to opaque applications. Using sketches and initial colour studies help my ideas evolve. These are then developed into paintings. Flower paintings are currently my main source of inspiration particularly the abstract shapes observed in a water filled glass container. I also have an interest in townscapes.
I studied Textiles at Surrey Institute of Art and Design, graduating in 1996. My textiles degree influenced my work, increasing my interest in textures and pattern. My art studio is in Stony Stratford, a town where I can sometimes be found painting ‘en plein air’, working on a townscape.
