Biography

I have been a full time artist for the past 20 years, teaching adults, painting for galleries and commissions and writing about art whenever I can. I take inspiration from working on location - even in winter - to capture light and colour of the landscape. I love painting in oils and am very keen on colour and texture. 2020 sees a change of direction in my own work, moving to a more contemporary style and painting larger scale works in my studio rather than predominently working on location.
