Burst of Colour

Follow

I grew up in England(technically I’m a cockney) with a mother who was a photographer teacher and a jewellery maker father, so from childhood I was exposed to, and in love with colour, shape and form, but it took until I retired from full time work to really begin to experiment and practise my passion as an artist.

I emigrated to Australia in 1965, joined the , then, embryonic advertising industry as a Media Strategist and of course found romance and married an Aussie with his own business, hence finding the time to paint was very rare.

I have worked in alll mediums - pastels, ink, pencil, oils and acrylics, but I’m now concentrating on acrylics.

The work and style of my paintings is and has been a continuous “work in progress”, with constant experimentation with subject matter, texture and form to find something that I can almost say “it’s finished” and I’m content.

I'm currently experimenting with different techniques and colour palettes to extend and loosen my style.
