The Artist

A British Artist with a rich background in mix of traditional training and corporate design.

 

From an early age I have always loved art. Filling scrapbooks with doodles and images of the beach exploring colour through collage and finger paints. Later, with encouragement from my parents, I discovered Pyrography and the joy of burning portraits into beautiful wooden surfaces.

My formal education started with a

I am, of course, always learning new things which will allow my work to develop and grow as time passes.

I create original paintings, full of energy, movement and emotions. I don't produce prints at the moment so all of my images are one-offs.

My paintings are modern emotive abstractions which reflect my mood, my environment and todays' culture. ​I use mainly oil paints as I love the texture which they give but sometimes I include accents and detail with other mediums.

I use intense colours, marks, and textures to provide stimulation to the senses. The blocks and circles I use represent different components of our lives and their relationship to each other.
