Ian has been an artist all his life. He draws and paints that which moves him. He started his painting career after leaving art college, with large scale, energetic and colourful abstracts, the paint moving around the surface in lines and swirls. His drawings are more figurative and intricate, showing his love of flora and fauna.
On moving to Oxfordshire he immediately connected with the way the landscape folded away to the distance in layers and so began a busy time making and selling his large scale colourful, expressionist, pieces.
Musician also, he has in recent years turned his hand to making and painting his own guitars.
