I enjoy the physical process of painting.
I like to explore and experiment with techniques and materials. I began my creative journey when I was very young and I was never far from a pencil or paint brush. Both parents encouraged me and I quickly discovered that I could record the world around me, the shapes, the colours and textures. I have never suffered from artists block and inspiration comes to me when I am working. I enjoy the entire creative process.
I primarily use watercolour, acrylic and oil paint. Watercolour for sketching, acrylic and or oils for larger studio paintings.
