I’ve always loved colour, art and texture But only been brave enough To get back into it in the last few years
I am largely self-taught and have been lucky enough to win a couple of competitions, create mini pet portrait commissions, and so many of mine paintings cards and pictures, which gives me a little self-confidence and encourages me to keep creating
Loving, as I do, so many different styles and mediums, I tend to vary between using charcoal, watercolours and acrylics… And some of my favourite subjects are bees, dogs and swimmers. Swimmers represent that little sparking us that we can summertime is overcome fears and inhibitions to ‘dive in’ And have a go… I think lockdown has enabled many of us to shrug off self-doubts and take a leap of faith
