Hello

Firstly, welcome to my website!

​

I’ve been drawing and painting for most of my life but I really started to concentrate on art in 2022 after my career in insurance came to an end. 

​

Most of my pictures are in acrylics, (though I very occasionally dabble in watercolours and oils) and many feature the sea and the landscape of the Isle of Wight, where I’ve lived since 2001. I tend to use a brighter palette and rarely blend my colours together. This often results in my pictures having a mosaic-like appearance, which borders on the abstract at times. It also means I can get through a lot of masking tape!

​

Most of my pictures are painted in the studio, though I started doing some work outside during 2023 and have come to appreciate the immediacy that plein air painting brings, though I obviously have a lot to learn.     

​

I’m a member of the Isle of Wight Art Club and have exhibited at Quarr Abbey and Montage Place and hope to do more soon, so watch this space!
