About the Artist

​

I  was the kid the teachers told to write or paint as a career, I didn’t, and for most of my life I chased a career in corporate management. But the itch never left me and so I started throwing myself at evening classes and when friends started offering to buy my work, I knew it was time to buy decent materials and follow my passion.

​

Now we live in this beautiful part of Devon, inspiration is all around and no excuses remain.

​

For me art should be an honest expression of the moment, captured without over thinking, sometimes using big brushes and instinct others with the smallest of strokes. I use a variety of medium in my work: oils for the shimmer and flow, watercolours for the adventure of not knowing what the pigment will do and acrylic for the weight and immediacy they bring.

​

By night I teach yoga by day I paint. Both seek the elusive moment, drawing breath in balance or combining pigments to show a splash of light or colour glimpsed earlier.

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I did creating it.

​

Namaste
