Horizon

I am a self taught artist and started painting 16 years ago after I had developed a serious illness which left me housebound for a while.  I found it to be a wonderful therapy and have been painting and exhibiting ever since. I currently teach painting to the elderly in some of  the residential homes in Torquay. I am constantly amazed at how well they paint and feel privileged to be able to help them do this.

I moved to Torquay from Oxford 4 years ago and unfortunately had to put my painting on hold. I have just recently completed a new collection of floral landscapes.

Mixed Media is my preferred medium to work with.  I enjoy combining acrylics, watercolours, pastels and various gel mediums to explore the way they come together. I like how this medium illustrates movement and texture and consequently works particularly well when painting nature.

My preference is to paint on large canvases as I feel unrestricted. My goal for my paintings is to inspire those who see them to be inquisitive and  feel a connection.

My favourite style for painting is mixed media.  'Horizon' is an abstract seascape that combines acrylics, oils,  pastels and various texturising gels . I believe this medium  illustrates movement and  enhances the  essence of  this painting. I hope that 'Horizon' inspires discussion, inquisitiveness and  a  ense of connection.
