Bio

I am an intuitive abstract painter living and working on the Lizard, Cornwall. I work very much freestyle with no preconceived ideas when beginning a painting, instead my paintings develop through mark making and the colours I choose. Often my work can evoke a period in time, an emotion or the natural world, but ultimately there is no intrinsic meaning behind the paintings and they are entirely open to individual interpretation. I am an associate member of the Penwith Gallery, St Ives, Cornwall and member of the National Acrylic Painters Association (NAPA). I have exhibited at a range of galleries in St Ives including: Penwith Gallery, St Ives Society of Artists Open Exhibitions, The Crypt and Salthouse Gallery (solo show). Elsewhere I have exhibited at: The Poly Falmouth, Form Falmouth, Ryebank Gallery, Rye, East Sussex, Museum and Art Gallery, Wells, Somerset (NAPA exhibition - awarded the Global Arts prize for ' Best Contemporary Painting' in show), the Show Off Gallery, Whitstable, Kent (solo show) and Kennaway House, Sidmouth, Devon (NAPA exhibition)
