About Me
I studied printed textiles at Winchester School of Art and graduated in 1991. I then worked in the Fashion and Textiles Industry designing fashion fabrics for the British high street stores for several years.
After a career break I completed my teaching qualifications and began lecturing in Art and Design at a local college, It was very inspiring to be around creative people and I felt drawn to go back to drawing and painting, my first love as a child.
I have been painting for the last two years, I paint every day objects that I have around me, Looking at the patterns, shapes and texture and wanting the colour to create a mood, I tend to use acrylic paints or inks and layer washes of colour into the background to create depth in my paintings, In the forefront of my paintings the brush strokes are kept fresh and spontaneous, sometimes revealing glimpses of the background, whilst creating more layer effects. The Paintings reveal my personal relationship with the objects or places I choose to paint.
