Having studied art in my youth I then took it up again as a mature student at Brighton University.
My inspiration at that time was taken from natural earth and rock formations and those that were created by prehistoric man. I found printmaking, particularly etching, an ideal vehicle for obtaining the various atmospheres and moods I wished to create. Enjoying the physicality of making the marks on the metal and putting into acid to bite into the image. The element of surprise was very satisfying. My main pleasure was to bite the acid deeply into the image thus creating a great depth of tone.
At the moment I am concentrating on oil painting, enjoying the pushing of paint around the canvas – again the element of surprise and making marks into the painted image. I am engrossed in the shapes of boats and their interaction with water and buildings.
I have exhibited in London and mainly in Sussex, individual and group exhibitions.
And in recent years, I have exhibited my work in the yearly Brighton and Hove Art Trail. I am now involved with Art Around Town (part of SWAG) and the West Sussex Art Society.
