Biography

To contact ; Email [email protected]. I first started painting after being diagnosed with parkinsons disease in 2013 at the age of 49. That was nearly 10 years ago and16 years from my first symptoms, my consultant painted [ I am being funny ] a bleak picture [ a bit more humour ] telling me that my life will be over in 5 years or so. How wrong he was, by tapping into my creativity by painting, drawing and continuing with my own gardening buisiness, I am the boss and the one man workforce, garden design is also creative, I have remained fully active and independant. creativity is a wonderful. I mainly paint with acrylics, and ocassionaly use watercolour, gouache and water mixable oils. I keep most of my work loose and impressionistic, painting landscape, seascape, nature and acrylic paint pour. lately I have been doing more drawing with charcole, coloured pencils, oil pastels, pastels and graphite, I have been atempting to draw realistic portraits and figure drawings, and this has improved my paintings.
