I`ve been painting art for over 25 years & I am mostly self taught. I enjoy creating paintings for people to brighten their homes and offices, I use good sturdy boxes so the work always gets shipped safety and is always tracked.

I studied illustration at university, also doing courses in landscape, figure work & abstracts

In 2005 I began selling my original abstract paintings on eBay and displaying my work in art gallerys.

My paintings are a process of exploration. There are no messages or hidden agendas, other than to reveal the discoveries made during my investigations.
I have sold more abstract paintings than landscape, but I still strive to be a better landscape painter, I am always looking at cloud structures when out. i also photo sunsets with my drone on a regular basis.

Perhaps I do take cues from familiar surroundings and perhaps old rustic buildings, aged surfaces golds,reds,burnt umbers, autumn leaves,do find their way into my work. Working with texture and colour is intoxicating.

Among my painting styles you can find original abstract paintings, decorative wall art for home and office, metallic paintings of different shapes and sizes , Cloud paintings , landscape paintings, elephant paintings, seascape art, sailboats , floral wall art , trees paintings and large and oversized abstract art.

There is, of course, the seed of an idea or a bit of a plan when I begin, but I am quickly directed by the work, answering the needs, sorting the puzzles and discovering solutions. I work with layers of thick and thin color, washed or scumbled over a textured surface. Traces are left by assorted mark makers, lines are straight, curved or gestural, surfaces are wiped, dripped and spattered, all adding to an eventual sense of accumulation and the essence of time.

I love architecture, volleyball and electric bikes
I used to think of becoming an Architect, but I never liked the technical aspect of it

The paint used in my work is of the best quality, all the original designs are my own.
