I have always had the urge to paint and draw ever since I can remember. I see something that inspires me and I have to try and reproduce it in some form or other. I can't explain it really. It's just essential to me to express in art what inspires my eye, whether its with a camera or brush.
Art has been my escape and saviour from the dark side of life from time to time and I feel very fortunate to have the ability to use my gift in this way. When Im engrossed in an artwork all my problems fade away.
I studied natural history at university and photography, drawing and painting are my hobbies. When I discovered water colour painting it opened up a wonderful opportunity to express myself closer to my feelings compared to the more static versions of my photography.
I've had some of my paintings in a local art gallery and have done lots of commissioned work for people but I find it takes an awful lot of time to put exhibitions together and I have to keep my day job! I love to paint and draw and so all my spare time is used for this.
I have quite a considerable amount of very diverse and varied paintings and drawings, hence my joining this web site, as I would like them to go to good homes.
I am currently an ophthalmic imaging specialist, although I would love to be a full time artist.
