As self-taught artist living in the North East of England, I have been painting for over 24 years. Inspired by the surrounding Northeast coastline I enjoy painting seascapes and landscapes in oils/acrylics hopefully capturing their atmosphere in different moods through colour. Even though I have a passion for creating landscapes and seascapes I also like to experiment with different mediums and subjects which makes my artwork quite diverse. I enjoy painting in watercolour and alcohol inks, sometimes adding a little goldleaf metal to enhance the painting, My artwork has been displayed and sold from Art Gallery’s in Newcastle upon Tyne, North Shields and in Spennymoor.There are very little things I enjoy more than listening to my favourite pieces of music while painting when I feel as if I become part of the painting itself. This is very therapeutic; an experience I’d like to share with others and why I decided to host my own relaxing wellbeing art workshop. A chance to leave the Hustle and bustle of everyday life behind for 2 hours a week and create your own piece of art in a relaxing friendly atmosphere .
