Taking part in Potfest in the Pens – October.
I am a visual artists who really values creativity and needs to practice regularly to keep happy. I like to share what I make and encourage others to have a go as the benefits far outweigh the messiness it can cause.
I love colour and having spent many years making with clay, which is a slow process to sample colours, I really value the immediacy paint has to offer. Being experimental with slight colour changes , trying different combinations as well as playing with textures and exploring marks to convey my ideas is important to me. Watercolour is my go to medium but I will never shy away from trying others.
Subject matters are the everyday, anything and everything that catches my attention. Occasionally my imagination may get carried away and I create the absurd, mixing subjects that are unlikely combinations. I like to be outdoors when not creating that means nature makes a regular appearance too. I also enjoy photography and more recently videography but there is a limit to how much I can do in a day….
