Shocking Collage

I'm currently based in Northern Spain where I'm discovering colour combinations that give life to painting. Painting in oils, often with cold wax, from direct observation. I create objects with a strong physical presence which acts as an antidote to working online. My themes have included changing light and weather, people's relationship with nature, and the stylization of nature in international cultures, I studied Ceramic Design at Central St Martin's London, printmaking at adult ed workshops in Devon and Cornwall, and trained as a lecturer at Plymouth University. I use visual thinking in my work supporting students with dyslexia. I like to spend time meditating, exploring nature, and listening to music and radio. I'm interested in collaborating with poets, musicians, and other artists.
