Painting started after a career on the airlines and lockdown forced me to fill my time with something creative. I enjoy painting realistic still-life, enjoying the challenge of striving for realism without it looking too photographic. I am often hunting around markets and antique stalls looking for interesting things to paint, after collecting various items, I then put my vision onto canvas.
I have also tried my hand at portraits inspired by the people of Jericho, this was my theme for Artweeks 2023. I do love how people express themselves with the use of accessories, make-up and hair styles etc. I strived to capture an expression that would portray a mood/personality. My portrait picture gallery was called ‘Faces of Jericho’.
My focus for Artweeks 2024 is painting some themes from the Oxford meadow. My art studio does have a beautiful view of the canal, where I can sit, paint and appreciate nature. I have also produced some new studies of fruit which I love to drench in colour making them so attractive they catch the eye.
