About |

Inspiration and experimentation lead me on new artistic journeys. Along the way, I …
• create expressive contemporary abstract paintings
• draw inspiration from the world around me, and
• recall memories of patterns, emotions and places.

I work intuitively, letting each painting guide its own development. To create a finished artwork, I explore and exploit colour harmonies, add light, texture and contrasts, then review and refine until I'm done.

Recent collections and new series are in the Galleries section of this website.

I am fortunate to be able to show my work at both the Eagle Gallery in Bedford and Artisans in the Yard in Shefford and in addition I take part in various exhibitions throughout the year. The galleries and exhibitions are promoted on my website and social media. The current and next events in 2024 are:

BIG ART FAIR Old Town Hall, Brand Street, Hitchin - open Friday 19 July from 7-9pm (Preview Evening), then Saturday 20 July from 10am-5pm and Sunday 21 July from 10am-4pm.

As well as finished work on show and for sale, there will be demos, workshops and 'have a go' opportunities for visitors.
