About my artwork

Colour, simplicity and natural beauty. It is these 3 elements which build the foundations of my Art work. The delicate folds and soft lines are a dream to paint, mimicking the fluidity of the paint and safflower oil. The sensuous or sometimes intense colours entice me in like a bee to nectar.
Through photography I love to capture the moments of nature that are sometimes missed like the common blue butterfly or the dandelion on the path. Through painting I love to study and experience these moments in depth, sometimes narrowing down to a single fold or particular patch of colour.
However, I am not confined to these mediums! I also enjoy every other aspect of art from printing, sewing, sculpture, drawing, there is nothing I don't like!

Interests

My other interests lay heavily with the natural world and everything in it. I have studied and still enjoy Geography and Biology and it is only the constraints of society and money that I cannot travel and experience every inch of our planet.
