About me
I started painting in the traditional way using oils on canvas and board - an exercise I enjoy immensely. I like the immediacy of painting; the mixing and layering of colour on colour, texture on texture. I'm very much a colour person, and am strongly aware of their energies and vibrations - of the effect one colour has on another - so that the slightest change may dramatically affect the scene of place and atmosphere.
After recently experimenting with collagraphy where I chose to use smallish, A4 size plates, I am now exploring painting again but on a larger scale I'm using acrylics collage and other mixed media on heavy watercolour paper. The paper itself produces wonderful textures. Working from light to dark, I may apply several layers of colour and, sometimes collage (paper, fabric etc) to give the painting greater depth of form and colour.
The two subjects which inspire me a lot are landscape and figurative and may be drawn completely from imagination and memory.
