As a figurative artist I explore different media, drawing and painting.  I don't use tech' much but that doesn't bother me. I feel a connection with the materials I use, water with water colour and acrylic, or oil, the brushes, the paper , canvas or the harder wall.  It is exciting to get into that zone and the discipline of getting the  materials to work for you. It has a historic context too,  way back to cave paintings.  

My outlets for art are 

• murals

• watercolour sketching and works on paper

• pastel landscape and flowers

• portraits

• illustration

• cartoons 

 

 

• murals I prepare in a sketchbook before turning to the wall for focus on the new work.  I work in a creative space that's on my  own terms - without undue influence from advertisers or convention. ​

• pastel landscape and flowers  Pastels give me a chance to work fast, and expressively with colour. 

• watercolour sketching and works on paper I carry travel watercolours with me to record places and people. 

• portraits  Portraits may be quick sketches or if a client wants an oil or acrylic portrait that  will be a number of sessions in the studio or at their home. 

• illustration  This gives me a chance to be inventive and use my imagination.
