Artistic Statement

I'm a North East Coast of England based artist. My history is computer graphics visualisation with over 20 years of experience growing up with a developing industry. I had grown tired and uninspired as my role was leading to less creative work and more managereal duties. This spurred me to start painting which is something I had always craved to do but with young children and work commitments never had the time.

In October 2018 I was given the opportunity to leave this industry and grabbed iit with open arms. I have one goal in mind and that is to paint. I love workiing in oil and try to capture the world around me. My time is split between mainly studio and some "en plein air" painting and I'm always looking for scenes that lift my spirits. From the inspirational coastline of the North East to the Lake District, and beyond. I have grown as an artist and am looking at more expressionistic styles which allow viewers to interpret my scenes for themselves. This has led to my City paintings.
