From childhood I was always interested in drawing but began to learn about painting late in life.  I have followed courses in representational and abstract painting, including oils, acrylics, pastels, and watercolours but I really enjoy experimenting with different approaches, techniques and styles. Currently I am working in multiple media, combining acrylics with gels, texture paste, paper and other materials, to capture the energy of emotions and moods, often in bright colours. Because I want to share my joy in what I do, I also offer one day hands-on Workshops to introduce people to Abstract Painting.
