It
was a busy winter and spring for me in many respects, but I've found
the time to create several new works, some of them demonstrating a new
style of painting I have been working on.
I've updated the
exhibitions page with most of 2011's confirmed exhibition bookings so
far, and I've created a "What's New" gallery so my regular visitors can
quickly check the latest additions to my portfolio. I've a full summer
season coming up both for exhibitions and for working on new paintings
and I'll try to keep the "exhibitions" page up to date with dates and
locations.

You could consider it a
match made (almost) in heaven, but Green Pebble publishers, a wonderful
East Anglian art publishing company, asked me to submit some paintings
and sketches for their latest "coffee table" art book, How Artists See
Nature. I was thrilled to be told I'd have a couple of my paintings
reproduced inside, but even more so when they told me they wanted to use
my "Move Over Gertie" for the front cover. You can buy the book direct
from their website, or it will be appearing in many galleries and
Waterstones outlets up and down the country over the summer. To get an
in depth overview of the book simply follow the link I've added on my
"links" page to their website.

My art is heavily influenced by my surroundings - the beautiful
countryside, villages and people of Suffolk, UK. I have a particular
affinity for animals, and my five cats and beloved Weimaraner provide
endless inspiration as they play and explore.
I also like to experiment with more avant garde abstracts and
architecture, and occasionally like to dabble in sculptural pieces made
from everyday objects, glass and even bone.
I received a BA Hons in Art in 2004, studying as a mature
student whilst bringing up 5 children and looking after the menagerie.
Phew!
I hope you enjoy looking at my work and find something to interest you. If you do, please feel free to e-mail me. |
