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.
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.
Since last year I have been learning linoprinting and you will find some of my limited edition prints in this gallery.
