About
Like most artists i have grown up constantly drawing and painting. I am constantly striving to use my mediums in new ways to express how i see the world around me.
The natural world is my playground, I find a deep energy in being in forests and woodlands, I use this energy in my work to bring a new way of seeing what is around us. I am passionate about learning about native (and sometimes foreign) plants to extend my knowledge. I enjoy long walks and often take twice as long as I should as I am constantly stopping to take photos of ‘interesting trees’ (I am fortunate to have a very patient partner).
The colours I see around me can be quite unique and often unconventional. I like to enhance the shapes and depths of the trees and plants I capture. I hope to create a work that the viewer wants to reach out and explore the textures for themselves.
Since picking my brushes up again 6 years ago my style has continued to evolve. After many struggles I have found a rhythm and a style that I am ready to share with the world. I hope my work has a unique feeling and experience for each viewer, and that this, in turn, allows them to look at the world around them in a new way.
