I have been a part time artist for most of my life, and in 2009 I took the plunge and went professional. I have studied fine art, three diamentional sculpture and ceramics at college and I still attend master classes, as I am always seeking ways to learn from others, particularly those inspirational artists that are 'Masters' in their field.
I am a realist artist, and I seek to bring as much detail and depth to my paintings as possible.
My main passion is wildlife art, but I also love to paint portraits of people and pets. Pastels, oils, acrylic inks and pencil are my main mediums, but I am always keen to experient with new mediums to present a painting in a different light, or to seek to enhance my subject.
I have my own studio and teach art, currently on a one to one basis. However, I will be looking to provide workshops in the future for students, and if anyone is interested please contact me, details of which are on the contact page.
I attend many art and craft shows throughout the year, during which I usually demostrate. Details of shows (and exhibitions) that I will be attending in 2012 are on the Venue's page.
I also activitely take part in competitions as this is another way to learn and develop from others, and there is always the possibility of winning...
I also sculpt in ceramics and recently I have developed a passion for stained glass. My next project in this area is a dragon picture for a window, which you will shortly see being built on line.
I am a member of many art societies, some of which my work may be viewed on their web- site, such as the SAA, Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society, and TWASI, details of which are on the link page.
