I
am an acrylic, pencil and pastel artist working
with collage. I have been painting for over 10
years, becoming professional in April 2005. My
primary subjects are contemporary floral studies
and semi abstract. But will work with any theme
that catches my imagination. I like to
co-ordinate abstracts with floral images and
creating abstract Images from common subjects.
I am inspired by literally everything around me.
Be it colours, textures or views. I like to reinterpret
those images, put them in my sketchbook and
then get it down onto canvas. There are times
however when I don’t know what I am going
to paint until I begin to hit the blank canvas!
I love the freedom and excitement that
feeling brings.
I like to use different types of papers and
mediums, my own photos and objects to
create my artwork, and explore textures
and colours. I endeavor to create something
a little different.
Art should be visually pleasing to you. After
all, it was pleasing for me to paint it!
I have a Foundation Diploma from Wimbledon
School of Art and a BA Hons in Textile Design
and Surface Pattern for the University of
Plymouth. My artwork has been bought by a
worldwide clientele for over three years.
I have won numerous awards, including one
from Derwent Pencil Company and the
National Acrylic Painters Association.
