I am a Northamptonshire based artist whose inspiration comes from my love of nature, my local countryside and some of the lovely places I have visited around the world.Most of my work is in watercolour, as I am endlessly fascinated by the wonderful luminosity and transparency of colour and the slight unpredictability of this medium, which makes it very exciting.A lot of my work is in a loose and experimental style, which allows me to use my imagination and create art of a more personal nature.For some years now I have also been practising the ancient art of Chinese Brush Painting, which tries to capture the essence and spirit of an object, rather than reproducing it as it is seen.I love the simplicity and spontaneity of this art form and find it a constant challenge, but also a source of great pleasure and satisfaction.More recently I have been learning the art of Lino printing, a very different approach to creating an image but no less fascinating. You will find some of my original limited edition reduction lino prints in this gallery.To portray my chosen subject matter, which ranges from landscapes to flowers, the human form to animals, I also enjoy using pastels and mixed media.
