Welcome to my website. I use most paint and drawing media. I do not have a clear category for the type of work I do, as I may paint something which is in front of me such as flowers or I may paint something to convey an idea or experience through symbols, colour, shape etc. I tend to paint quite a lot of flowers, simply because I like them. Some of my work may refer back to something I have read, as I spend a lot of time reading novels.

Although I do not not aim to be 'realistic' my work does inevitably originate in something I have seen. Depending on the subject I work from sketches or directly from the subject. I avoid photos as I find they reduce my interest in the process of drawing and painting and don't really add anything much to compensate.
