I am a semi abstract artist working mainly in oil pastels, chalk pastels, watercolours and mixed media.
My inspirations are the sea, the countryside and how they are occupied by people and animals. This comes from a love of walking in the South Downs and the Loire Valley and wild swimming. |
Corn Field in Loire - oil pastel on paper SOLD

I work from the photographs I take, from sketches and from the feelings evoked by found objects and materials. When I paint I use multiple layers of pastels, adding mixed media, charcoal, pencil and blurring and blending with my fingers and found objects. In this way my paintings have a depth of field and agency, textures, interleaved with light and movement.
