Inspired by the sea when travelling and the beautiful nature around us in Herefordshire, I strive to convey the variety of emotions I feel when blending into these landscapes rather than rendering a photographic representation. All my work is therefore atmospheric, mysterious and emotion-based. I want to take the viewer into a personal journey or to be part of a story in all the work I produce.
Being an artist enables me to accompany others on a journey of emotions, hopes and dreams by helping them to see the world in a different way. It is a state of mind where you have to persevere and keep looking to move forward on that journey.
I started my Art journey in 2003 by attending a Chinese Watercolour evening class, and those first brushstrokes would forever define my passion for loose painting and atmospheric watercolours. Extending to landscape and flower painting in the following years, I developed my artistic style by combining the fresh and energic characteristics of the brushstrokes of Chines watercolour with our more traditional watercolour techniques. Today my paintings and other creations are a mirror image of my artistic evolution.
