I am a 47 year old Wirral based artist, and paint mainly in acrylics.
I started painting when I was about 12 but had to give it up whilst studying for my A levels in order to concentrate on science subjects – I ended up reading chemistry at University College, Oxford.
I picked up the brush again about 5 years ago, and found that I enjoyed painting more than ever, quickly regaining my confidence and creativity and have been selling my work successfully for the last few years now, via both physical and online galleries.
My work is generally a mixture of abstract compositions and semi-abstract landscapes. I am particularly interested in often unseen organic forms, such as microscopic or macroscopic images (maybe it’s the scientific background creeping in), and colour relationships and their effect on mood. I also love the organic forms of the Art Nouveau period and the subtle designs of the Arts & Crafts movement (antiques of this period is another interest).
My work is sometimes planned and sometimes unplanned - I often like to see just what develops over time (sometimes quite a long time!), and usually work on a number of pieces simultaneously.
I hope you enjoy my work.Artgallery rating
