Many years ago, after graduating with a diploma in graphic design, I pursued a career in the advertising and print industry, eventually becoming a director at a marketing agency in Yorkshire.
I have always loved arts and crafts but never seriously took up painting as a hobby until a couple of years ago. I love to get out into the field, come rain or shine, and paint the landscapes from life. I am best known for my pastel landscape paintings but I have also recently taken up acrylic painting.
I have been told I have a sensitive approach to my paintings but I find my style is evolving since experimenting with different approaches to my work, trying to become looser and more energetic.
Fascinated by rolling landscapes and turquoise seas, I never tire of the views and am always on the lookout for my next project. I love to see the sunlight dancing on water, or filtering through the clouds in contrast to the backdrop of a stormy sky. I am permanently in awe of the beauty of nature and would like to capture that essence in my paintings.
