About us

I class myself as being very fortunate in many ways, but in this context regarding my love of art. To have this passion from an early age provided me with clarity and an identity, I was the creative one and at times when I doubted myself in other areas, and there were many, this gave me a sense of security. Growing up in a creative environment, observing my Grandfather who was an artist undoubtably opened my eyes to this world. Having this shared interest strengthen our bond and my family fostered the idea within in me that following your passions in life is where success truly lies.

My educational journey was similar to that of many other modern artists, full of exploration into different styles, mediums, techniques and disciplines, in an attempt to define my style. A necessity I no longer desire, as I feel the beauty of being a mixed media artist is the freedom from definition but desire to remain inquisitive.

I have a strong sculptural background and I feel this is reflected through my approach to my paintings. This is apparent compositionally, the manner in which I use the surface of the canvas and through the controlled application of paint and the rhythm in which it is applied. 

In recent years I have become increasingly inspired by nature. The benefits of spending time in nature has become more apparent globally and thanks to my four legged friend it is part of my daily life. I feel recharged, refocused and inspired after our walks. The woods are my favourite place to walk on a sunny day, the trees acting as nature’s kaleidoscope, casting shadows and shapes in an abstract formation. With the ever changing landscapes, subject to light, weather and seasons, the spectrum of colours evolve offering up a unique palette and limitless inspiration.
