Based in Gloucester on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds I am influenced by the countryside around me, taking visual clues from natures forms, colours, and textures, using intuitive marks and lines to illustrate movement, light, and texture. Working mostly in Acrylic, inks, pastels, and charcoal my first passion is abstract art because it evokes a pure instinctive reaction from the viewer. I also have a deep love of language and am constantly inspired by poetry and words, which can be seen in some of my abstract artwork and am fascinated by Abstract Expressionism - an art style that focuses on spontaneous bursts of emotion and intuition.
