Growing up in a family of artists and creative spirits, I studied art and history of art, taking extreme pleasure in both the intense paint workings of the classic landscape artist of England, through turners later work and right to the surrealist edge and mixed mediums. I am particularly drawn to working with a palette knife and acrylic or oil paints, and the juxtaposition of intense colours. Sometimes it is hard to find time, but this is what I want to do more.
