A visual storyteller living a creative life = serendipity. I create art in many forms – drawings and paintings and absurdly whimsical illustrations and designs.
I’ve been drawing painting and writing my whole life- my mother recalls me drawing on the floor with chalk when I was perhaps four or five and I remember writing bedtime stories for my younger brother when I was around nine years old. I’m also a voracious reader and I’ve shared my creative bookshelf here.
I am truly fortunate to live a creative life drawing inspiration from my memories and the world around me and to have lived on three different continents and have a rich and varied lived experience to draw on.
I admire lots of different art styles but find that I am most drawn to the work of Hokusai, Hiroshige, Monet, Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec and Mucha. These influences are apparent in large number of my works. For me they combine simplicity, bold lines, rich colour and supreme story telling. I read, keep learning and experimenting with materials.
I find it very difficult to define or categorise my art other than by saying creating gives me joy and the telling of a story is important me as is finding a connection to other human beings.
My wish is that feel connection with my work and that it speaks to you in some way.
