"I make paintings about my experiences of people and places"
Making art gives me opportunities to connect deeply with my feelings about what is going on within and around me.
I express ideas using improvised forms and layers of colour.
During my Fine Art studies during the 1990s, I explored a number of traditional and
contemporary art forms and found that I love to paint.
I graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art from the University of the West of England,
followed by a Masters from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, My main influences range from modern art traditions including Cubism and British and American Abstract Expressionism.
I work on a range of large and smaller compositions, using many layers of mark-making,
then scraping them back to reveal the complex history of the marks, colour,
fragments of stories and design beneath the surface.
I exhibit regularly in solo and group contexts in Cirencester and London.
As well as painting, I have many years experience of tutoring adults,
helping others to develop basic and more advanced painting and creativity skills.
