Expressing my ideas and feelings through abstract work has given me much creative freedom. The foundation of each work is the process of exploring colour and developing textures and pattern. Through sketch books and other materials, ideas evolve and are expressed through the creation of surface texture and the layering of colour, using acrylics, or oils, onto paper, canvas and board.
You will see new work in progress and my printmaking activities by visiting my Facebook and Instagram pages.
