Since leaving College at the age of 17 I have become a self taught artist. Born in the Uk, I lived in manchester until moving to Mauritius in 2002 & recently I returned back to the Uk. My studio is currently in Northwich, Cheshire.
I have had many life changing and profound moments one being a vision quest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, another being a Shambhala meditation Retreat in Bleddfa - both being unforgetable experiences which I draw upon to grow creatively and share inspiringly through my art. This year I will be taking a trip to The Meditation Centre in Limouges for their Art In Contemplation course, Taking part in Cheshire Open Studios and exhibiting with various groups.
My paintings begin with feelings derived from statements, poetry and alternative perspectives bordering on a spiritual level. The intention is to create a piece of art which can have an emotional and enlightening impact on the viewer. I take pleasure in working the contrasts between the smooth blended airbrush or paintbrush, to the rough undulating textures and discovering new ways to create textures, luminosity and depth.
I choose to take art back to basics, by stripping away any facade I facilitate in sharing the exploration of my inner universe. Take you on a journey of the cosmos around me and the discovery of art being a spiritual experience. |
