Biography
I am a self-taught artist who was introduced to abstract painting in 2004 where I discovered a passion and love for it that has grown within me. I started painting canvases at the beginning of 2005, and after having enjoyed it so much and having such positive feedback I decided to carry on and experiment with different colours, paints and designs. As the demand grew from friends and family for my canvases I was able to take my painting to the next level and I am now ready to expand my market. My style is contemporary/abstract. I mainly use acrylic paint, and the use of mixed mediums and textures on my canvases ensures each one is individual and unique. I tend to sign my canvases on the back, thereby giving the buyer more freedom in choosing which way to hang my work. Commissions can be undertaken, please refer to the contact details on how to contact me.
I take inspiration for my work from many things, i.e. my surroundings, nature. I am always looking for ideas with colour and constantly view things from a "canvas" point of view! I enjoy experimenting with colour and texture and like the addition of metallic and pearlescent paints to add another dimension. They can enhance the picture in a subtle way and add interest by changing the look of the painting depending on the angle of the light.
