Watercolour and Pastel
Working in colour, I tend to use mixed media, combining watercolour with oil pastel, often used as a resist, and ink and pencil.
I aim to create more abstract, contemplative themes with a richness and complexity of colour. I often portray birds, animals, trees and fruit - or people in the context of the beauty of these. My influences range from medieval illuminated manuscripts to the paintings of Marc Chagall, the prints of 2nd World War artists Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden. |
