I love to get into my studio, smell the paint and get going. Sometimes a painting is inspired by nature, something I have seen that day or last week or last year, or it is a thought or a feeling.
I have many projects on the go at any one time at different stages of completion.
A BA in Art and Design from St Martin’s School of Art taught me to develop an idea. A diploma in Oil painting under Martin Kinneer, Norfolk taught me techniques in the history of oil painting.
Now I am just getting on with it, each day a discovery and experimentation. I love figures and landscapes and open to projects.
I enjoy teaching in Suffolk occasionally.
I have very much enjoyed a sketching-painting residency/cultural exchange in China this Autumn 2019 invited by the local government of Wenzhou China.
