About Me

Artist Statement

I am an abstract artist and love to explore the emotional power of colour, shape and movement. Working primarily in oils, I am drawn to their richness, depth of colour and expressive qualities, using them to transform thoughts, emotions and memories into a visual and colourful language.

Biography

It is only in the last couple of years that I have decided to take my painting a serious step further and make it into a career, an exciting shift in my life that I am absolutely loving.

My passion for creating has come to the fore with an urge to discover what is inside of me and what needs to be said through paint, I have been helped immensely on the way from my partner, friends and relatives, the support has been incredible and I feel very lucky in that respect.

I studied art at school and went to complete a foundation course in art at Wolverhampton Polytechnic in the late 1980s, then life took a turn I moved to London and worked for a variety of organisations all with their own very creative remit, so again a very lucky chain of events that kept my passion for art alive even if not always practicing it.

Moving to Somerset 5 years ago I joined our local art group which is led by an incredible teacher who has shown me so much about why we need to create, what is its purpose in our lives and how it can benefit others, all imbued with a great passion, experimentation, discussion and practice.

And so here I am now, I try to live in the moment and bring passion and honesty into my work and hopefully convey this to the viewer. The work I produce will not be for everyone and that's fine, and my style sometimes changes depending on the themes I want to explore and how I want to express them, the world would be a dull place if we all liked the same thing and did the same thing all the time. I hope my work asks questions, brings peace or provokes thoughtful conversations.
