About the Art.
I paint mainly with acrylics, many layers are applied in order to build up the work. When adding texture to the work the drying time of acrylic paint allows me to do this. I use a variety of tools to scrape back layers or scratch in to the surface to reveal the layers below. Usually I take a lot of photographs and while out walking I sketch the different landscapes, flowers and birds. These together with everyday objects give me the inspiration and the ideas I use in the different pieces of work. I aim to create pieces of work that are bright, colourful and vibrant.
