‘Passionate about what I do. Always.’

Making art is my passion. After art college in the mid 80’s studying Ceramics, over the last few years, I have focussed more on painting and drawing and am mostly inspired by the landscape where I do my best to capture what I see and feel, very often in a bold, expressive, and abstract way. I love vibrant colour and texture and work in multiple mediums, but especially acrylic, oils, collage, charcoal, oil and cold wax and watercolour, exploring layers and building depth.

Representing the landscape and working ‘en plein air’ is a favourite thing to do and making big, gestural landscape inspired marks, is often my starting point. Drawing standing up with charcoal taped to a long piece of bamboo, makes me happy and lets my emotional response to my surroundings loose!

My workshop sessions aim to be fun and will encourage experimentation.
