Throughout my life I have pursued a range of artistic activities and interests including writing, interior design and photography but in recent years have concentrated on painting. I am mostly self- taught and paint in acrylics as I find their versatility and the fact that they dry so rapidly enables me to translate the images in my head, capture the mood and power of the moment, as quickly as possible. Recently I have explored mixed media - combining collage, inks and organic materials with acrylics and watercolours in my paintings.
I am inspired by colour and mood and find the style of each paintings is suggested by the subject itself. More recently, however, my work has tended towards a more abstract expression of my ideas.
