Didcot powerstation spring sunrise Painting

Originally from oxford, i now live and work in London. I have held several exhibitions of my artwork and currently have art displayed in the uk, abroad and am currently exhibiting in the cornerstone art centre, Oxford. I constantly push to develop my style and I frequently look at other painter's work; historical, modern and contemporary, I enjoy doing this and it feeds my own practice. I look at paintings from the Tate Galleries, local commercial galleries in london or student degree shows. These viewings contantly deliver something exciting and inspirational for me. I have an ongoing internal dialogue with a wide range of painters work. It's a complex process and I aim for clarity. I want my paintings to be generous and to engage the viewer. I've been painting ever since i can remember and knew from an early age that art was going to be a major influence in my life. I had early schooling at Banbury Art School and then studied further in Art and Design at Middlesex University where i went on to achieve a BA Hons degree and become a graduate in Interior architecture. I have lived and travelled for several years across Europe and China, which influenced my style greatly. The rolling landscapes and vibrant colours inspired my eye to see the world in an increasingly developing creative manner which led to an important productive phase of my artistic life. I am now working as a multimedia designer in London where i also paint for leisure and commissioned work. Inspired by Londons rich diversity in colour and culture i continually attempt to look through the grey of the city and strive to bring vivacity to my canvases that i feel speak so loudly for my being.
