Biography

For me it is totally important to be honest with myself in life and therefore my art. Sometimes I want to paint more representationally, showing to myself and the viewer what I want to remember.
Other times and more often now I find I need to paint abstractly, loving the use of colour and marks

inspiration

My inspiration for my work, is the landscape and feeling of freedom and exhilaration, that I feel when I am out in the countryside. It can be totally abstract, but it is always painted with the freedom and energy which gives me the reason for life.

medium

I use mainly acrylic paint, using brushes pallet knives, rags spatulas, and my hands- ie. anything which I feel I need at the time to keep my work varied and exciting. I also often add little bits of collage, or other medium like oil pastels, pencil etc.
