About The Artist

I am a UK artist and art teacher, currently working in Singapore. I create an eclectic array of paintings and mixed media work, as I enjoy exploring a range of different materials and techniques, always excited and curious to try new things. My abstract painting aims to take the viewer on an imaginative journey of associations, as colours, marks, shapes and composition suggest and stimulate memories and thoughts, personal only to them. Titles are left loose but evocative, to add to the intrigue. In my portrait work I am playing with multiple layers of imagery and photography in the background, giving clues and further insights into the subject of the painting, their history, life and experience. I also enjoy working with poetry, statements or quotes that add strength or further meaning to a specific landscape or place, always with the intention of encouraging the onlooker to think more about the work, people or places within it.
