Biography
My mission is first and foremost to have fun with art and to enjoy it, with a view to making others happy either by seeing my work, or being inspired to make their own. Art is accessible, anyone can get involved.
inspiration
My inspiration comes from nature primarily. I am drawn to subjects that are lit strongly or have unexpected qualities and mixtures of colour, texture or reflection. The challenge is then to replicate those qualities on paper.
medium
I use mainly coloured pencils on pastelmat, paper and drafting film, with a diverse range of subjects. I am also learning how to frame my work and expand my output into cards and other items. I found out about Art in the Park from the UK Colour Pencil Society magazine, as they had a presence with you in Leamington last year. Colour pencil is so versatile and allows a great deal of detail, but it is a very underrated medium, so knowing UKCPS were represented there has prompted me to make this application.
As I said, my mission is to have fun with my art and inspire others to make their own. As colour pencil is so user friendly and flexible it isn't daunting or unachievable.
