MembersI enjoy the freedom and surprise associated with painting in oils combined with cold wax medium. I choose a limited palette of colours and apply them with a silicon scraper tool onto the support. A few layers of paint are blended, scraped away and reworked until my experiences and memories of landscapes are sparked and the painting resolves. Most of my work is painted in this intuitive way.
My watercolours, ink and mixed media work is largely developed from plein air sketching and painting. Many loosely drawn and painted studies are produced as a reference for each painting. My style is balanced between realism and abstraction. Colour and the beauty of light in the landscape inspire me.
I am a member of The Artist group, Deeside Art Group and Irby Artists. I took part in Wirral Open Studios in 2021 and 2023 and the Lake Gallery Open in 2023.
