Artist Statement

Picture

My inspiration comes mostly from the natural world and I love to create vibrant paintings in a variety of media that reflects my passion for art.                                             
I paint at different times in oils,  acrylics, watercolour and soft pastel, as well as mixed media. I find it exciting to start with a blank white canvas and then transform it into an artwork that may become a part of someone's home life and memories for years to come. That is something really special and I love the idea that I could walk into a strangers house anywhere in the world and see one of my paintings  hanging on their wall. 
I have taken many commissions from individuals who wish for a particular painting for themselves.  Also from individuals or groups who want a very personal gift for someone they care about. I have enjoyed working closely with them in order to bring their vision  to life. 
I teach art and I believe that anyone can learn to paint. It's so rewarding to see the pride and surprise of a complete beginner when I demonstrate how to achieve a painting and they realise what they are capable of. 

Please contact me if you're interested in any of my paintings, commissions or workshops.
