Hi, welcome to my art archive of most of my paintings; all originals using acrylic, oil or mixed media.
Much like many of you I enjoyed splodging paint as a child. I studied art throughout my school years and on leaving school considered continuing my studies at art college. However, I opted instead for the stability of a profession and the certainty of a job and became an Occupational Therapist. I hoped this profession would allow me to use my love of art to support others and indeed it did especially in the earlier half of my career. As a young and not so young adult I continued my own journey and skill acquisition by attending evening classes and workshops including different media. However, drawing with charcoal and ink and painting in oil are my preferred media.
Art and painting provides a means of expressing me; it is my method of an autobiography. Often there are links to the places and spaces I have visited at some point in my journey through life. It is an invocation of sorts; a way of conjuring an image from moments, experiences and memories from different times.
I hope that they evoke something similar for the viewer; perhaps a recollection of a walk, a holiday, a childlike sense of awe...
Statement
Ultimately, I hope you enjoy the pause as you browse, do feel free to stay a while longer to gaze …. ….And if you find it hard to look away and wish to take it home (for a much longer study) then let me know?
