“My paintings are made in Watercolour, Pastel, Acrylic and sometimes in Mixed Media. I aim to represent a place or thing but also to convey to the viewer my inspiration and feelings about what I am painting. I want to look beyond reality.

Composition and design are key elements in my paintings so that there is a feeling of balance. There will always be a sense of light and space. I work hard to master the media that I use so that painting seems to flow beyond technique and to be made with a playful curiosity and seemingly without struggle.

Enabling others to enjoy and develop their own Art is a big part of my life and a most rewarding endeavour. I have 103 students registered with  me for classes at present.”
