Having always had a leaning towards art, it wasn't until later years that I embraced art wholeheartedly. My formative years living on a small, remote Welsh hill farm allowed me to feel the quiet and to really look, see and appreciate my surroundings. This has had a massive effect on my life and I believe it transfers into my artwork. Painting predominantly in oils and enjoying it's flow and versatility, I like to paint a variety of subjects, in particular a Still Life. Setting up a Still Life can be quite a lengthy process as it has to feel 'just right' before I can paint it. For me, painting is a very therapeutic process and I try to convey the sense if quiet and calm that I feel from my subject.
