in painting photography

I live and work in the picturesque rural county of Norfolk, England.
I studied art and design at the College of West Anglia, Kings Lynn and Norwich School of Art & Design, but consider myself to be mainly self taught
I have been naturally drawn to expressing myself with painting and drawing since childhood.
When someone asks me to describe my work I say colourful, bold and expressive!.I don’t like to be recognized by one particular style because over the years I have developed many different ways to represent my imagination on canvas, using both figurative and abstract techniques depending on the kind of mood or atmosphere I’m trying to create.
I have an obsession with skies and sunsets finding their dramatic colours and shapes a constant inspiration, my other great passion is Africa with its richly diverse culture and landscape.
