About Me
About Me
I am a self-taught aspiring artist, once a primary school teacher, who has discovered a new passion in the world of watercolour painting.
After years of nurturing creativity in young minds, I now channel that same energy into my own artistic journey.
I am drawn to the freedom and spontaneity that watercolours offer and revel in the way the paint flows and blends, capturing the delicate balance between control and unpredictability.
I now embrace the joy of creating art and find a sense of liberation in each brushstroke.
My Artwork
My watercolour and pen and ink paintings combine the fluid, translucent qualities of watercolour with the precise, expressive lines of ink.
This artistic technique captures the essence of places and objects, blending delicate washes of colour with intricate details. I like to use this medium to evoke the character of a scene or item, such as a charming village, a historic landmark, or an antique object.
The ink outlines add structure and definition, while the watercolour brings depth and mood, allowing my viewers to experience both the tangible and emotional aspects of the subject matter.
I believe this approach is particularly effective in conveying a sense of nostalgia and connection to the depicted location or object.
