Biography

I am originally from Wigan and have lived and worked in the Colwyn Bay and the Rhos-on-Sea area since 1983. I am a member of The Denbighshire Art Society. I paint in Acrylics, Watercolours, inks, from life, sketches, or my own photographs. I'm inspired by local areas, people, and natural objects. I paint in different styles, ranging from realistic or graphic, to semi-abstract, using different techniques, painting flat or richly textured. My latest work is inspired by my local coastline, with the large sea defence boulders, rocks, stormy seas and skies.
