About Me
Born, formally educated and worked in Birmingham, UK for 63 years, I now live in the beautiful borderlands between Shropshire, Herefordshire and Mid Wales. I taught Art for over 20 years to 11 -18 year olds and now have time to practice what I have been preaching!
A mixed media artist inspired by colour, form and texture and predominantly process lead, I like to find balance within what I choose to control and where the materials take me. My work often explores abstract landscapes, sometimes as a direct response to what I see around me and sometimes my palette becomes highly saturated and evocative of a purely emotional response.
