A Chair from Honfleur Ed. 2 of 50

This image was captured in the seaside port town of Honfleur in Normandy during winter. It is influenced by impressionist painters and artists. Captured on a Canon DSLR and edited in my studio. It prints beautifully and I have it hanging in my own home.
I seek to create pieces out of my camera that are both individual and artistic. I feel my style is now recognisable with these particular images. It is a mix of abstract and impressionism.
A few outdoor chairs and pastel blue pot plant caught my eye. Back home in my studio I created a piece of art that evoked memories and feelings of rural France and the beautiful patinas and arrangements that I stumble on as I walk around the backstreets.

My passion for photography was finally unleashed when I retired from education in 2010. Since then my knowledge and my style have developed considerably. I have had many opportunities through courses, workshops, mentoring, travel and exhibitions to nurture my passion for photography.

My style is more impressionism than realism. My passion is seascapes.

I decided a number of years ago that the seascapes I wanted to create would be more painterly, perhaps more gentle. I use a variety of techniques to make my images but the core of my work is created in camera. I use post processing to add another dimension and to resolve the image.

My work is not limited to seascapes. As a Blue Mountains resident, I have found a way of interpreting my local landscape. I don’t try to compete in style with the amazing landscape photographers who I admire, rather I try to put my own emphasis on the images I choose to capture. For the past 4 years I have had a relatively large body of work at the Blackheath Hub where my work became known. I am active in the Mtns Made community and I have valued getting to know other artists in my local area. I have been involved in a number of group photography exhibitions including in the Palm House, Botanic Gardens Sydney; Everglades, Leura; Braemar in Springwood; National Parks Govetts Leap Blackheath.

I print most of my own work in my home studio on my Epson large format using archival papers and inks. The work featured initially on Bluethumb is some of my local Blue Mountains and rural scenes.
