I am a British artist, who trained in the USA in the early '90s, interested in using light and colour effects to describe my physical and transcendent reality. Inspired by Bay Area figurative artists, I explore the extraordinary within the ordinary.
I paint my connectedness with the landscape and our need to protect it and admire Kurt Jackson for this. I paint to process life events and share the human experience and Frida Kahlo has been influential. I am fascinated by art as prayer, for example in early Flemish art and Pre-Raphaelite religious symbolism. And I love the exuberant joy of Hockney and Matisse, expressed through vibrant patterns and colour.
I trained in the late 80s and early 90s at Wrexham Art College, Wales, then Louisiana State University, USA. I sold my work at a number of exhibitions in Baton Rouge between 1992 and 1994, and in the UK in 1994 and 1995.
I then moved into an unrelated profession and raised a family. I resumed creative work in a serious way in 2020. In 2023, I turn my attention to showing my work and continuing my creative output.
