My artistic career began at age
3 ½ when I sold my first painting in my Fathers art gallery. I studied art
at school up to 7th Form, which gave me the grounding in art
techniques and styles. I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 1999
which included some papers in art history.
I joined Pablos Art Studio in
1997 and despite 10 years of not doing any artwork soon picked it up again and
have been quite successful exhibiting and selling my work. My predominant
medium is acrylics, with some dabbling in watercolour and pencil/pastel
drawings. More recently I have taken up photography.
My style has been greatly
influenced by the works of Rita Angus, Robin White and Don Binney which I was
introduced to at high school - solid shapes with a minimum of shading and
strongly defined edges.
My subject matter varies, but is
predominantly landscapes and musical themes, the natural progression of my
primary background as a musician.
