I am a passionate painter, and this for me makes painting an adventure, a journey through an idea leading to a destination, which can be deliberate or unknown. It is very exciting and rewarding. I sometimes start with a definite vision of the outcome and know exactly where I’m heading with a painting and how to get there. But with art there are no rules ‘except the ones we impose upon ourselves’. So more often than not I just start a journey (painting) with only an idea and see where it takes me. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums and genres, from realism to abstract, and from Weston style watercolours to Japanese Zen painting.
I use acrylics, Chinese inks, watercolours and pastels most often and work in mixed medium. I work on canvas, wood and paper. At the moment I’m experimenting with a more free style in my watercolours and pastels. I work from my upstairs studio room, which overlooks the gardens. Its small (really small) but it’s my sanctuary. At the moment I’m working on a personal project, a set of watercolour and pastel illustrations. I occasionally run workshops in Chinese brush and sumi-e, and am hoping to produce an online course later in the year, - ‘Art as therapy – Zen painting’. I have a keen interest in the study of the Psychology of Art and its application in everyday life. Some of my influences and mentors are: Hayao Miyazaki Simon Combes Henry Li Vic Reeves Yuuko Suzuki David shepherd Lee Sung Ho |
