Portfolio

Since having left working life I have put my energies into painting and to pursue a life as an artist. I have always been creative but longed to express myself in paint. I aim to learn as much as possible from other artists, and have been influenced by prominent artists in this country and abroad. My paintings are developing into a more semi-abstract style. It will be interesting to see how my style will evolve.

The watercolour medium, which I favour, is very unpredictable and at times ends in surprising results. I enjoy experimenting and try combinations of colours and different types of pigments to analyse their properties which may transform a painting. Landscape - and especially seascapes, with a distant horizon, make me feel in awe of our beautiful country. My favourite places to paint are the Western Isles of Scotland and Isle of Wight. I aim to achieve a sense of mystery and serenity, perhaps this is influenced by my Scandinavian background.
