Favourite media:
Oil, watercolour, ink

Inspirations:
Landscapes, colours, textures and rhythms

Pottery has also been an interest and a source of creativity. During my working life I was a manager at an art studio, which gave me a very different glimpse into life in the art world.

My inspiration comes from how I review colours, textures and rhythms within landscapes. Holiday destinations such as Iceland, Cyprus and my favourite areas of Dorset have provided me with all of the above and inspired my use of collage in my more recent work. At present, I am developing my understanding of working with acrylics further by using their vibrant colours together with the enhanced effects of mixed media.

For a number of years I have been a member of the West Wycombe Art Group and more recently was Chairman of the group. I am a member of the Visual Images Group and have exhibited for several years with Bucks Open Studios. For eight years I was part of a group that promoted art for patients at a hospice, this provided a social and creative environment for all concerned.

I am also delighted to be a member of the Bucks Art Society.
