The influence of art has always featured through my family history. My interest in painting started since an early age. I am self taught, as I believe that no one can teach you art, the passion has to come from within.
Both my subject matter and style have changed over the years, becoming increasingly impressionistic. My favourite media is acrylic, because of its versatility. I also work with oils, watercolours, gauche, and pastels. Working in various styles is interesting, but my preference is for abstract, because the imagination can be given a free rein.
Inspired by the strong colour and contrast, of the environment; my paintings are images that I create from within my mind. My passion is to improve my technique so I am able to show these images to the world, as I see them.
