Mixed media, painting

I found my passion for landscape painting 8 years ago in Washington DC where I painted and exhibited with artists from the Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery. I have continued to work alongside artists at the London Fine Art Studios and Heatherley School of Art and have taken workshops with contempory artists for motivation and invaluable input such as David Tress and the late Jason Bowyer. I am constantly inspired by Artists that ‘draw me in’ with their mastery such as Richard Diebenkorn, Turner and Constable, Edward Seago , Singer Sargent.

I describe myself as a semi realist painter involved in taking risks which direct me towards a finished work. Direct observation of the subject and experimentation is integral to my work. Sketch books are valued for recording eye catching details in the landscape and the community where I volunteer. My compositions are realised in oil, watercolour, pastel and mixed media on a variety of supports such as canvas, board and a selection of paper.
