Artist Bio

Welcome to my art page !
l enjoy creating in diverse styles and embrace the said work on the day, mostly working 'alla prima', all in one go. I approach each work as an exploration of intuitive mark making by using various materials through the processes of drawing and painting.
I prefer not to work from a photo reference, rather to work from memory to develop a sense of place, or use direct observation as a starting point to realise a work.
When painting outdoors, 'en plein air', taking inspiration from the landscape around me, I use available light to mix and match colour temperature as I see it.
I have a strong background working with glass as an artistic medium, (painting with glazes, engraving line, etc) with one-off decorative and functional art pieces enjoyed by collectors worldwide. I have however, shifted my art practice entirely to working on 2D surfaces such as paper, canvas and timber as a means of exploration of line, form, colour and story.
Thankyou for your interest in my work.🙂
