I have a love for colour, contrast and texture, and generating these elements using acrylics on canvas, brings me a further component - a smile !

I am now retired and have found time to create my own original and unique pieces of art .  I have happily re-discovered the pleasure of dipping a brush or palette knife into  paint in an assortment of wonderful colours, and adding them to a canvas.

Art has been part of my own biography since my first 'Art Appreciation' lesson at the tender age of 8 years old! And I continue to draw inspiration not just from frequent gallery visits both locally and nationally, but also from the environment around my home on the edges of Suffolk and Norfolk.

I have dabbled here and there over the years as time was happily filled with my children and work. Every now and then I would buy a few canvases, put a mish mash of colours and shapes together on them and hang them on the living room walls, a recurring theme was often the seasons: Spring in tones of bright greens , Summer in yellows, Autumn in browns and Winter in blues.

I now enjoy my creative and rather abstract side, helped along by the gift of an easel placed beneath the window in the back bedroom ! a huge old sheet underneath and a multitude of brushes, palette knives (the odd fork and old toothbrush!) paints, cloths, old jam jars, and all the usual accoutrements required to create.
