I was initially trained in tonal painting (oils) over 25 years ago, then branched into pastel work which I thoroughly enjoy. Painting is an escape for me and I like to remain eclectic and look outside the box when I'm creating. Different genres of music also help the creative juices flow when I'm looking for inspiration. I enjoy portrait painting human and animal, particularly dog portraits. Abstract creations fascinate me and allow me to explore the human psyche, the spiritual and subconscious mind. I'm currently studying my Diploma in Art therapy and have worked in the medical profession for almost 30 years. I would like to use my artistic skills to help people in times of trauma and depressive illness. |
