About
I began painting at the age of 64. My work developed initially through a process of intense and consistent practice and experimentation.
Landscapes and seascapes are what inspire me most and I find this subject to be congruent with my interest in the sacred, the spiritual, the nature of reality and consciousness. I listen to music when I paint which can also inspire me. Images emerge from free exploration and are discovered and refined only in the later stages of the painting. I want to express something which is beyond words and deeply felt and to create atmospheric images as a focus for contemplation. However, I am not confined to this and am open to wherever the work takes me.
I have been a regular exhibitor at The Art Yard Gallery, Cradley Heath B64 5HX and I am a Friend of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and a member of the Midland Painting Group. I worked for many years as a psychotherapist and I have a deep love for music, art, literature and nature.
