“Having discovered a passion for drawing and painting some years ago, I have enjoyed finding out just how far one can go with the different mediums. I started with pencil and have been working with charcoals and pastels (both soft and oil), watercolours, gouache, acrylics, and oils, at times mixing some or all of them.Equally important to my work is the texture of the surfaces used, be it papers, board, wood or canvas.

I live close to the sea, and am fascinated by the amazing skies, seascapes, and landscapes that change before your eyes; much of my work is based on this phenomenon. I love the colours and forms, and have a strong interest in working the abstraction of both land and sea, taking them back to their most simple forms and shapes using texture, colour and directions of paint.

This whole experience of this work is a journey, and to occasionally arrive is pure joy.”
