“I have always had an interest in pathways of marks across all surfaces and mediums. Life Drawing has always been a foundation for all my art making. Acrylic being a favourite, for its durability and quick results. I love mixing mediums, though respect the rules of principles and elements of design, love breaking them just to see what happens. When it comes to helping others see and develop their own Art this is where I sit best. Joy and contentment ensue.”
