‘The Energetic Artist’

Energy is my companion inspiration and helps me find my rhythm.

 

I draw the female form all the time as part of my practice. My medium is charcoal which translates to oil paint so well. I enjoy pastel too and use dynamic make making to capture beauty in a moment.

 

My oil paintings circle around a few different themes.

I love painting landscapes and the sea as I have a close affinity with Cornwall. These are often started ‘en plain air’ and finished in my studio. I use my enjoyment of colour to guide me into finding that essence of place.

 

I also paint the female form and heads. These may start from a live model or from research combined with imagination. This series is exploring whimsical women. My hope is to catch a humour, a suggestion, a mood in my fictional ladies. Each painting evokes its own title and perhaps a touch of vintage, I allure the viewer to make of them what they will.

 

I exhibit in galleries in Sussex and Cornwall.
