About The Artist...... |
I am a British artist working in oils, acrylics and occasionally
pastels. I was trained in the studios of Joan Wills VPSWA in St Johns Wood, London. Nowadays, living and painting in a working waterside village demands
that this influence is included in my work but I am equally likely to
paint other subjects in various styles as the subject and mood demands.
I was taught in a traditional style of landscape, portraiture and still
life which is, in my opinion, an essential for further development in
more abstract or painterly styles such as that in which I currently
work.
I work extensively from photographs and images which are
cropped to zoom in on the normally unseen detail, or to see familiar
subjects and objects in a new way. These days I am developing a new
direction for myself which focuses on my passion for broken colour.
bright, vivid tones and a blurring of detail, applied to many subjects.
