I have drawn and painted since I was small, I always loved to paint landscapes, seascapes, animals, and flowers and as my abilities and techniques have improved I have also started to paint portraits and the occasional abstract.I was largely self taught apart from the influence of my Art Teacher at school -thanks Mr Pass! until the late 1990’s when I realised I wasn’t improving. At that point I sought out art classes and eventually joined the Saturday morning classes run by Malc Parnham.Here I learned the majority of the techniques I now use and my paintings have improved enormously. I still attend just for the craic and Malc’s critical eye!
Until I joined Malc’s classes, only family ever got to see my work, but then I got brave and painted a view of Olu Deniz in Turkey especially for a good friend’s 40th birthday. It was so warmly received that I gained huge amounts of confidence I then moved on to painting for others as gifts and soon began to sell and exhibit my work.
