I am a visual artist based in Coventry. I use many mediums including oil, acrylic,
watercolours and mixed media. My paintings are expressive and show a lot of
movement and emotion. I adapt many household objects and have found that
using a screwdriver helps me to achieve the best effect for my drippy style
work .
My paintings have featured in gallery’s around
the country and I have held my own exhibitions in Coventry. In April 2010 I was interviewed and featured
in Virgin Trains Hotline magazine for the Coventry Open.
I gain inspiration from many artists who are
famous or those I meet through my social networking. As a child I was
blown away by the work of Van Gogh which I saw at the National Gallery in London. Other favourites of mine include Jackson Pollock for
his use of vibrant colours and his vivid imagination and Claude Monet.
My grandma who has sadly passed away was always
my biggest fan and the driving force behind me following my dreams. I was
always painting and drawing as a child and it was her encouragment that made me
believe in my abilities. Whilst at senior school my art teacher Mr Jackson was
fantastic and I learnt a great deal from him and I realised that there can
be career in art.
My interests include art, surfing
tho I’m not very good, 90′s Indie Rock music, photography, nature and
socialising. My main passion is old VW Campers and Beetles and I
often visit VW shows in the summer months.
