Welcome, and draw me a bird!
I work as a freelance artist, I'm also a qualified Wellbeing practitioner working therapeutically with children and young people through creativity to develop self esteem and creative potiential. I believe that through drawings we can understand a bit more about what's going on for us and around us.
The History of Art is wonderful and for murals I think about different artists to inspire me, like Braque, Chagall, O Keefe and Basquiat who play with space and time.
The concept of freedom is pretty important me, freedom of expression and a respect for the natural world. So I like to have a bird which flies or dives in and out of my paintings as a symbol of this.

Portraits -These can bring a mural alive with expression. Also as I've drawn in pastel many people, young and old, it gets 2nd nature. But it's a challenge to get the likeness! On the left is a series of drawings in pastel. On the right is a mural part of a series of people who work in a city.
The child on blue sky is for a new collaboration with a songwriter. I was inspired to paint this by Salgado's photographs of children of war.

Landscape - Just who is an artist and does not love landscape and flowers?
Illustration. Having worked so much with children and young people, a narrative with illustration is often how I interact, developing a story with pictures.
