I am a mixed media artist working mainly in watercolour and acrylic inks. I paint semi abstract landscapes inspired by the countryside around my home near Sheepscombe in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds or photographs taken on holiday. I enjoy using my imagination, often departing from reality rather than representing the exact scene before me. Working primarily wet on wet, I am constantly fascinated by the way watercolours and acrylic inks flow and merge and the effects they create. I like to introduce texture into my paintings and I am constantly experimenting with new materials to create this. Many of the paintings are inspired from local scenery, especially Blackstable Wood where I regularly walk my dog.
My work is regularly exhibited in galleries in the local area and I am a member of the Stroud Artists Cooperative whose aim is to provide a forum for local artists to support each other; learn from each other; provide opportunities and generally work collaboratively with members and other local bodies to promote art and artists in Stroud.
If you are interested in original paintings please let me know via the contact page. Limited edition giclée prints can be purchased from this website or from my studio near Sheepscombe. Cards using the same images as the paintings will be listed soon.
