Me and painting

It all started when I was given a set of watercolour paints when I was 10 years old.  I drew and painted incessantly from that point.

 

I have always been fascinated by the built environment and loved looking at and drawing everything around me where I grew up in Wolverhampton.  I became interested in the way that people are connected to buildings and places and I like to try to capture that in my painting. 

​

The majority of my work is rooted in this but I've recently started work on a small series of paintings exploring what happens when that connection is lost - watch this space!

 

For a long time my day job got in the way of painting and I spent a lot of time doodling ferociously on conference calls while my painting was crammed into weekends and evenings but, over the last few years, I have dedicated a lot more time to painting.  My work is predominantly watercolour.  I love its ethereal quality which creates a feeling of fluidity and movement and of the passing on time.
