A a child I always painted and had my sketch book in my hand. I did not study art in university until I was in my late 20’s. Fascinated with Tromp L’oeil images I became fascinated with perspective and illusion. I found psychology increasingly important, even essential, as a tool to express my identity, personal beliefs, memories, and future vision. Visual imagery was the only way that I could tell my story.
After graduating I became a lecturer of Art and Design in a College of Further Education. It was an amazing 20 years; sharing ideas, techniques, concepts, and participating in in-depth debates… some of which got quite expressive!
I have now retired from teaching. I intend to work full time on my own art work. I am very excited about this.
I have exhibited and sold a number of my paintings in:
- Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy
- Albany Gallery, Cardiff
- Washington Gallery, Penarth
- Aspects of Wales, Pontardawe Arts Centre, Swansea
- Swansea Maritime Museum, Swansea
- Barnabas Arts House, Newport
- Interview: Published by ‘FEATURES by VALENCIARTIST’ and ‘LatinosUSA’ – English Edition
- In 2015 I published my book ‘The Intimate Values of a House and the Spaces Within it’.https://www.blurb.co.uk/b/6120048

Your art is captivating, making the viewer feels lots of things at once. I love your use of color too. If you ever exhibit your work in Scotland, I’d definitely go to see it! π

Your work is stunning. Your concepts are inviting. As an art teacher, – not so much an artist- I have asked students to tell me how they know if a work of art is good. We have come to the notion that if we want to keep looking at it, it is probably good. Your paintings invite the long view.
