I am a 30 year old Lincolnshire 'yellow belly' born, educated and still living in the county near to Grantham. After leaving college, I studied with the Open College of the Arts before setting up my own studio in 2002.
Colour and form are important to my work and I like to experiment with different styles, media and subjects.I love the big Lincolnshire skies, wide variety of landscape and nature. Much of my work is developed from photographs I have taken, which I like to digitally manipulate and collage, for different effects, before sketching and putting brush to canvas. Many artists have influenced me including Kurt Jackson and the Cornish school, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keefe, Lucien Freud, Jackson Pollock,....
I hold an annual solo exhibition, regularly show my work with other artists, open my studio as a member of Art on The Map and have paintings in private and corporate collections throughout this country and abroad. Alongside my original paintings I produce prints, cards and an increasing range of related products.
Currently I am working on commissions, a new body of work in a range of styles and media for my next 'solo' and exploring ideas of using my work in fabrics and textiles.
I hope you like what you see!
