I was excited a few years ago to hear that painting is a learned skill, not something you are born with. Deciding to believe this, I began learning from others and giving time to developing my creative practice. My first oil studies were done on the back of primed cardboard boxes as where I lived there were no art stores.
I work in oils and soft pastels. There is so much beauty around us if we have the eyes to see. I enjoy creating moments that will encourage people to slow down, to stop and look more closely.
