Having lived around our beautiful countryside all my life, in my art I hope to capture not only what I see but what I feel. My happy place is truly in front of my easel; transposing emotion and beauty of our surroundings into an impression of feeling on canvas.

 

My style and mediums have changed over the years and for a long-time art was a very personal thing. Over the last few years, I have rediscovered my love of painting, and friends and family have encouraged me to share my work more publicly. Immersing myself in nature and photographing its beauty is the beginning of my creative process.

 

My work tends to develop a theme across my paintings as I endeavour to capture the beauty of that subject in different ways where dreams and landscapes intertwine in a style of light surrealism.

 

Life tends to sweep us away without a moment to breathe. Forcing ourselves to just stop, stare and digest our surroundings is important to me and the discovery of the natural world and beauty in everything we see drives my art and is at the core of my portfolio.

 

As I continue this journey my art evolves, sometimes nature and sometimes still life, sometimes capturing the warmth and glow of summer at other times the serenity of autumn and winter. I am forever exploring and pushing myself….daring myself.

 

My art is a journey emulated in some of my paintings. Paths leading somewhere, walking through trees, strong and powerful. I predominantly use acrylic on canvas, it gives me the flexibility and depth as a medium to explore themes and capture what I see and feel. I look forward to sharing my work as widely as possible and to the viewer joining me on my voyage of discovery.
