I am interested in the sky, the sea and the textural qualities of trees and foliage.I live close to the Wirral Peninsula and much of my work is influenced by the Dee Estuary and coastline.My paintings are my response to what I see and experience. I sketch in situ and I sketch from memory.Once I start painting and the composition takes shape, the physical act of applying paint and making choices takes over.That's when exciting things begin to happen.

About Me
I have a B.A.Hons degree in Fine Art, specialising in Sculpture from Sheffield Polytechnic.From a young age I have loved making, drawing and painting.I worked as a primary school teacher for twenty plus years, working mainly in Early Years. I then worked as an art tutor and community artist.I help run a weekly art group for adults.___________________________I want my paintings to show what I love about the natural world. What I love about the act of painting and drawing; mixing colours, making marks.I don't aim to faithfully represent a landscape. I want to evoke an emotion, a mood.I do a lot of doodling and sketching of compositions that are part memory. I'm looking for a memorable image that I want to paint. Something that will hold my interest and draw me in.Sometimes I'm asked how I know when a painting is finished. I know when I look at it and I just keep wanting to look at it. That's what I'm hoping for...
Here I'm doing my favourite thing... having a paddle in the sea!
