Art and design has been a big part of my life since a young age. I was only 10 years old when I first realised how much enjoyment I got from drawing. It came naturally to me. It has only been in recent years I have started to sell my work. After leaving school and studying a 2 year general art and design course, I went onto college to study a HND course specialising in ceramics and surface pattern. I started painting only a few years ago, after doing up my house to sell. I found I was unable to find any wall art in the right colour or design. So I took the plunge bought my own canvases and did my own paintings and wall hangings. My inspiration is the sheer beauty of nature, capturing the atmosphere and fluid forms I witnesses on my travels, constantly amazed by the particular beauty of the natural world. All my work is of an abstract floral theme created on box canvas using mix media incorporating acrylic, emulsion and texture paste - finished with three layers of satin varnish for protection. I create the background then just sit and look at it for a while to see how the floral forms will grow and flow over the canvas space. A lot of my work at the moment is textured; it makes the images standout from the background. Giving it an almost 3D appearance, making you want to reach out and touch the picture. Sometimes for the background I will use one colour varying the shades and tones to give the picture subtle contrasts. Also by adding a metallic light reflecting colour in a small area it catches the eye and changes its appearance in different lights.
