About

I presently live and own a wonderful home and studio in Swaffham, Norfolk.  This new area has provided me with a diverse range of landscapes, skies and sunsets to paint.  I have always needed to paint, draw and make sculpture throughout my life, and consider being an artist as essential as breathing, not a profession.  I work to learn about the world around me, working mainly from life on subjects such as landscapes, figuration, portraiture, still life and flowers.  I am fascinated by light, colour and composition, and the balance of these three dominates my work.

I mostly paint in oils using an Impressionist palette and have spent many years studying the palettes and techniques of past artists.  My Inspiration has always been the truth to nature.  I paint, draw and sculpt what I see as honestly as I can.  My other inspiraton has been great artists from Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Vincent Van Gogh and hundreds more.  I see them and their work as my teachers and friends.  I welcome visitors to view my work.  If you would like to see my paintings and the way I work please contact me to arrange a convenient time to visit.  I look forward to meeting you.
