 Born in Norwich, I now live and work as a full time artist just outside the market town of Diss, Norfolk, selling and exhibiting my original canvas art online and in live galleries .
My work has sold all over the UK and Europe, and has also reached the US and Canada.
I always paint wet-on-wet using oils, and love the vibrancy of the colours and the beautiful blends of tones that I can create with this medium. I have always resisted using quick drying acrylics as I believe that oils have a look of quality and depth in colour that truly enhance any painting.
I paint in a semi-abstract style and always straight onto a blank canvas. I never sketch beforehand as I feel it restricts my creativity.
I am very much self-taught, and I believe that this has in fact helped me remain very loose in the way I express myself on canvas.
Inspired by natures light, and keeping my art very tonal, I strive every day to create artwork that is easy on the eye, whilst hopefully still having that 'Wow' factor.
I never try to represent my subject in a totally realistic manner, as I believe that a painting is something for the viewer to lose themselves in.
I will have a certain feeling and mood in my mind when I start painting, and the viewer will no doubt have a different take on the feelings it gives them.
That is absolutely the result I want, because if my work allows you to wander out of the stressful reality of real life for just a moment each time you looked at it, then I will have truly achieved what I set out to do.
This is original contemporary art that is ideal for the modern home, office or showroom, and the tonal simplicity makes it easy to match with your interior decor.
I am also happy to take on commissions, for both private and commercial use, so if you are interested in my work please feel free to contact me.Artgallery rating
