Welcome
Welcome to my online gallery of oil paintings, digital art and photography.
I first discovered my love for painting as an adult, and after doing a foundation course in Cambridge I went on to study for a degree at Central St Martins in London. I graduated in 1996 with a BA Hons in Fine Art Painting and I have been enjoying the process of image making ever since.
As with most artists it is nature that inspires me most whether it is from visiting far away places or from near to home in Cambridge where I live. How I relate to and understand nature informs a great deal of my work. An idea starts in the head but it must be felt before a start can be made to interact with the process. Putting oil on canvas is always an adventure and a spiritual journey and a way of discovering the personal self. We cannot help but be influenced by art history and all that has gone before, so finding a way that is of a personal expression is part of my journey.
I create abstract and semi-abstract multilayered work that has a certain meaning for me. Working in ways that can happen spontaneously but being in control of the process keeps me on this journey of adventure and discovery. Painting intuitively and keen to follow and explore what paint has to say, in ways of weaving together opposing forces.
This year I have been exploring semi-abstract landscape with some abstract work on spherical shapes, which is something I often keep coming back to. Colour combination, surface texture and light are elements that have been very important to me in painting, photography and with the digital artwork.
Since graduating from Central St, Martins, I have exhibited regularly, in solo and group shows in London and galleries in and around Cambridge, in Essex and Cyprus.
Last year I was invited to exhibit in a cultural gallery in Cyprus and I will be showing as a solo exhibitor, in September 2009. Work sold has gone to Belgium, Brazil, Australia, China and now Cyprus, as well as being sold locally.
If you are interested in any of the work then please contact me through the contacts section
