Biography

A new and evolving artist, exploring photography, nature, colour, atmosphere and expression in various styles and media.

I first became interested in Art through the medium of the camera.

But I found that there would be many occasions when the camera was not to hand or it could not express a special moment in a way that was meaningful to me.

So I started to create my own record of events in pencil and watercolour. I became hooked and attended a number of residential courses and Cunbria Institute for the Arts. I now explore Pastel, Oil, Acrylic, Mixed Media.

I am a member of Hewyood Artist Group , The Holistic Pathways Centre, 49 Bridge Street, Heyood OL10 1JF
