Freelance graphic designer/art director for 22 years producing corporate identities, brochures, general print, direct mail, packaging and web design, now fully employed as an art director with an advertising agency in Richmond-upon-Thames for 3 years.
My passion and inspiration for painting is derived from places I visit regularly; landscapes of Southern England, South West England; coastal scenery and dramatic skies.
I try to capture the essence of the scene in an impressionist and personal way, working from sketches and photographs to create a finished painting. Constantly striving to extend my skills in water-based mediums and often combining them with pastels.
A member of Croydon Art Society who I occasionally exhibit with.
I have had various private commissions for landscapes in UK and Canada, and a commercial commission from Medici Society for a Christmas card.
It is my ambition to live by the sea and paint full time.
