I am a Mixed Media Artist,Tutor and Demonstrator and one of 18 artist showing at Inglenook with the Art in Dunchurch Group. I have been holding regular weekly classes in painting and drawing in Dunchurch and Willoughby for 20 years and give demonstrations and workshops to art groups and associations around the country. I have always been a mixed media artist specialising in nature. For me the most important thing about producing art is the observation and recording, this is where I learn and develop and understanding of my subject. My latest work is based around trees and shows the beauty of using soluble graphite and gold leaf. I also make and use inks made from natural sources, as well as handmade naturally sourced watercolour paints from Latvia. I draw and paint mainly in traditional methods but also in abstract form.
