A JOURNEY TOWARDS SELF EXPRESSION AND ABSTRACTION.

A JOURNEY TOWARDS SELF EXPRESSION AND ABSTRACTION.
I was born and educated in the North East of England and moved to Huddersfield in 1969. In 1983 I returned to education at Huddersfield University, where I studied graphic design and went on to have a successful career as a designer.
Art is my greatest indulgence and my way of expressing how I feel and think about life. Sometimes my art is something magic that happens almost as a chance response to a thought or feeling passing unseen between the brain, eye and hand. Serendipity! But sometimes it is very hard work and chains me to my easel for hours while I struggle to realise the ideas buzzing in my head. Art then is a very cruel task master - it is never satisfied? I love to draw, paint and experiment with texture and colour. I am happy and feel completely whole (in the zone) when I work. For me it is a form of meditation, with every part of me concentrating on the moment. I use collage, pastel, acrylic and oil. Anything goes. There is no right or wrong way in art - it is a personal journey. I like to experiment - going with the flow, change direction, using the occasional happy accident. Not all experiments are successful, but I learn a lot in the process.
