I have always enjoyed drawing, painting and creating artwork of all forms. I love colour and attempting to capture the beauty of plants, landscapes and people in my paintings. I enjoy painting a wide range of subjects including flowers, landscapes, portraits, still life and abstracts. I thrive on variety and find that trying out a new subject or technique can change the way I work and enhance other areas of my painting.
Watercolour is my favourite medium but I also paint in acrylics, gouache, oils and pastels. I paint outdoors when I can but I also work in my studio at home, either directly from flowers or still life, or from sketches and photographs. I like to try something new with each painting - I hope you will enjoy the variety of my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
I studied for an Art foundation course at Wimbledon School of Art in the early 90s, since then I've continued to develop my skills and explore my creativity. I have exhibited at Winchester's Guildhall Gallery, Hastings Arts Forum, Southampton City Art Gallery and at Bankside Gallery in London. I am a member of and regular exhibitor with the Winchester Art Club and I have also taken part in the Southampton art market.
