Painting

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 dress, accessories, make-up and hair styles etc. an artistic portrait is not just a reflection of a subject’s appearance but also a window to their soul, capturing the essence of their being and the silent stories that reside within. I strive to capture an expression that would portray a mood/personality. My portrait picture gallery was called ‘Faces of Jericho’.

My focus for Artweeks 2024 was painting some themes from the Oxford meadow including horses and flowers.

My art studio is my sanctuary with a beautiful view of the canal where I can sit, paint and appreciate nature. Art has been very therapeutic for me, a place I can escape and forget my worries, after all we artists are known for our sensitive nature!
