Largely self-taught, I am inspired by nature and ordinary life around me. I work mainly in oils, but have ventured into watercolour and pastels occasionally.
I have always loved the feel and texture of oil paint on the canvas. In recent years I took the opportunity to learn more about the history and classical approach to oil painting and enrolled for a one year course at the Norfolk Painting School. I have drawn inspiration from artists, such as Caravaggio, Turner, Sorolla, Joan Eardley and the Scottish Colourists.
