Many of my paintings are inspired by literature, people and places or celebrate the magical and unexpected in everyday life.
I usually start with a series of sketches and colour studies, working them into full size drawings to test the composition before starting to paint. These are transferred to gesso primed supports and meticulously lined to preserve the essential elements of my design.
Classically trained, I use oil or watercolour and enjoy their subtle blending qualities which create a soft, dreamlike finish.
