EXPLORING COLOURS AND TEXTURES

Nature-related scenes, animals, flowers and seascapes currently dominate my work. I'm always exploring colours and textures, sometimes including abstraction and collage into backgrounds. In the case of oils, the subject is worked in broad, free brushstrokes. Watercolours are often done on a white background, in a realistic way, achieved by dry brushwork. My artwork is represented in collections in the UK, USA, Australia and South Africa. I also regularly do commissioned artwork, including portraits.
