Having experimented in different mediums over the last fifteen years, I have found acrylic on canvas and silk painting to be the most effective in communicating my contemporary abstract art. Completing my formal art training at The Hertfordshire School of Art & Design, my professional career began in printed media design. As a magazine designer I experienced the hectic world of deadlines and the expectations of creating art under pressure. For a release I began to focus on fine art painting. Successful in commissioned work, I am fortunate in producing commercially viable personal art. My pieces are a direct response to my immediate environment and influence. Drawing upon colour, texture and emotion, my work evolves with sensitivity and passion.
