The Artist ...
College trained in graphic arts, I began a career as a designer in print media. After a few years employed in print/graphic shops, I opened my own graphics business, and flourished until taking a sabbatical to start a family. During that time, I found that painting (something I had enjoyed in my teenage years) brought me much joy, relaxation
and contentment.
Other than an occasional workshop, I can attest
that I am primarily self taught. This of course means
that I learned things through experimentation -
trial and error you might say, but I think that was
pivotal in becoming a versatile artist.
I've explored many mediums, techniques, surfaces
and subject matter. Although some of my recent work reflects freedom of expression, I am often drawn back to the detail and beauty of realism.
Art For Everyone
Throughout the pages you will explore a variety of work, from realism to expressionism in acrylic and watercolour.
Upon discovering fluid art (acrylic pouring) in 2020, I've uncovered a new passion that allowed me to "paint outside the lines"
and enjoy a sense of freedom
in my art.
On occasion I put a little
"fine art" touch to some,
such as this little
hummingbird added into
these chain flowers & leaves.

And below I bring a little ocean inspiration
to some small furniture pieces
with my acrylic and resin fluid art
on furniture.
