Artists Statement

"I enjoy a variety of artist styles and mediums having trained and studied a wide range of disciplines and techniques. I often do a fair amount of preliminary sketches in pastel or pencil before attempting a new body of work - this helps get my ideas out of my head and kick start the process towards a 'work of art'. 

 I always find starting a new piece of art exciting and I often experiment with different painting techniques and mediums to achieve the results I am aiming to for. Nature, travel and music are my main inspirations. I love being creative and usually do something artistic every day, even if it is only a small sketch."
