My work is inspired by two passions, the sheer joy of painting and it’s ability to bring life to a blank canvas and the delight in images both striking and quirky, from the rural characters of Eastern England to the big blues skies of North Norfolk.
Emerging from a career as a Children’s Book Illustrator the desire to create character within the painted image is never far from the surface, and whether depicting Animals, People or Places I aim to convey a very personal impression of each subject, through a progression of expressive paint techniques, colour, light and movement.
