I mainly concentrate on watercolour, acrylic, drawing and multimedia projects. For me, all art forms are about the development of ideas, form, colour and design. Each piece is unique and even where the subject matter is repeated they are never the same. I enjoy creating a new piece as it is mentally stimulating and I often take a long time to develop any piece, where others seem to follow without any effort. I mainly work from photographs as it can be difficult to work plein air in public places owing to interruptions for well meaning and interested passer byes. Some work is specific for individuals, others are made for enjoyment with nobody particularly in mind and these are the paintings chosen specifically with this exhibition in mind.
