About The Artist

I live in New Zealand after spending fifteen years in the United Arab Emirates,originally from Dorset, U.K. I have enjoyed painting in oils since I was a teenager, I'm a proud possessor of a GCE Art "O" level pass certificate and studied art part time at Weston Super Mare Technical College - now I'm in my sixties and have more time to paint and hopefully improve my technique. I feel as photography captures landscape so well, I'm leaning towards more abstract work. Art is a very personal thing and we all have different views and perceptions on the world - through art we can convey and share our own vision, views and perceptions and I love it. Favourite Quotation: "Future generations will be living in a world that is very different from that to which we are accustomed. It is essential that we prepare ourselves and our children for that new world.” Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founder of the U.A.E
