I see the purpose of my paintings to lift the spirits. This is achieved by combining passionate use of colour with images drawn both from nature and imagination. I use varied elements in my work which sometimes border on surrealist, but are always grounded in a close observation of nature.
My work covers a number of styles including impressionist, decorative art, expressionist, fantasy and illustration.when not painting purely abstract works you can find animals, landscape, human figure, flowers and gardens and still Life elements in my work.
The technique I use vary between watercolour, acrylics, gouache and oil painting to pen and wash, pastels, pencil/charcoal drawing, creations in mixed media, collage, glass, gilding and fabric painting.
