As a self taught artist, it has taken years of persistence; however I feel the reward is in the journey.
My preferred medium are oils as they best suit my style of painting. Their loose and fluid nature gives me flexibility along with depth of colour and intensity. Singular bold colours inspire me. Moreover, working with oil paints give me the capacity to create layers that lead to vibrant shades. I find them perfect for blending into a dazzling array of contrasting tones. I feel best able to capture the desired drama and emotion.
Over the years I have painted Landscape, Architectural, Figurative and Still life. My current work is a Calling from the Mother Land! In particular I am drawn towards the art and architecture of the Rajput Clan, especially the women of the 12th -20th century India. It is a journey that has led me to explore the essence of Hindu culture at the time. At the same time it has given me an appreciation of the artists in the kings’ court and their challenges.
My work is exhibited all year round at various venues and small gatherings. Please get in touch if you would like to view artwork before purchase.
