I live in Ipswich and am a writer, painter and teacher of drawing,
painting and meditation techniques. I work in a studio, set in a
beautiful, well-stocked courtyard garden providing a beautiful
environment in which to work.
I was the drawing and painting tutor for Woodbridge art club for a time
and have assisted in the teaching of The Watercolour Week at
Weobley
under the ARCA organization.
I now teach locally at the
Ipswich Institute
and demonstrate and lecture in drawing, watercolour, oil and
pastel to schools, societies, groups and individuals.
I try to create
jewel-like paintings full of impact, mood and vibrant colours and feel
there is a case for using beautiful art creatively in the home and
workplace where an accent of colour is often missing. Providing a focus
of beauty in the places where we spend a lot of our time enables us to
feel a greater sense of wellbeing and peace. Despite the vibrancy of the
colour people sense a restful quality to my work
The subject matter for the paintings themselves covers a range of
subjects:
- lush tropical beaches,
- quiet sunlit English woodlands,
- energetic seascapes,
- local and continental landscapes & townscapes,
- vibrant sunsets,
- portraiture
- and figure studies.
