Welcome to my website.
I've been painting since I moved to Norfolk, UK, twenty years ago.
I used to be a photographer in the pre-digital era, but nowadays I mostly use photography as a reference for my paintings - recently flower and garden pictures - watercolour being my preferred medium.
Earlier work includes collages (mainly A4 size) based on still life, or collaged images inspired by song titles. Some of my still life collages are currently for sale at the Mana Art Gallery, Aylsham, UK.
As I cast my eyes around the plants, bric-a-brac and objects of nostalgia scattered around my house, I have a feeling I may be revisiting still life in the very near future.
I've also started to dabble in landscape, inspired by the local countryside where I walk my dog, but so far I'm struggling to find a way of interpreting what I see in a way that conveys the essence of a place and what it means for me. There are so many brilliant landscape artists, past and present, that I feel rather daunted. So maybe that's for the future?
