Although I have always been interested in art I only returned to practice painting again in 2007 after my little girl was born in 2005. I am a self taught artist although attend regular evening and weekend classes in various media.
I specialize in Acrylic painting although have recently begun to experiment with oils which are opening up lots of new possibilities in my work. I feel drawn to surface texture and whilst love to paint with brushes also enjoy the freedom of employing palette knives especially in my larger works which are mainly abstract. However I also love to use layers of glazing to bring a luminosity and sense of depth to my figures and landscape work which allows a subtlety in the colours in contrast to my Abstracts.
I have exhibited locally in Cheshire at Crewe Lyceum 2010, in Congleton in 2009 and in other local venues including Sandbach in May 2011. I will be submitting some works to Keele University Open Exhibition later this year. Artgallery rating
