My artwork is influenced by the natural world and my ongoing search for ways to capture its energy - particularly through colour and line.  A core element of my practice is the process of channelling the subconscious in order to visualise the life in my surroundings.

My abstract work employs a more formal process - an exploration of colour, form and composition

I studied Fine Art painting at Winchester School of Art under the late Gillian Ayres. I now live and work in Wiltshire.  If you would like to commission something, I enjoy the process of working with someone to achieve a special piece.
