Welcome to my website
I live in Somerset in South West England, and I am a member of The Chandos Society of Artists, based in Bridgwater, Somerset, as well as a local Art Group based in the small village of Moorlinch. I also belong to a group of artists in South Wales, called Pembrokeshire Art Associates. I have produced work using a variety of media, including oils, acrylics, pastels, inks and watercolour, although I now tend to concentrate on oil paints and pastels.
In terms of subject matter, I paint whatever inspires me, although portraiture, which grew out of regular commissions for pet portraits over the years, is the work I approach with most enthusiasm at the moment.
I have also recently discovered the immediacy and vibrancy of soft pastels, and have worked on several different surfaces. Feathers and fur work particularly well on Hahnemuehler's Velours paper, landscapes on sandpaper or primed card with a rougher surface.
