Durdle Door Sunset Painting

Born in Holland, I studied art in College but became a potter for 25 years before picking up the brush again. I feel I am mostly self taught through my love and enthusiasm of painting the world the way I want to see it. The beautiful country side of Dorset offers me unlimited potential to express my love for painting landscapes and seascapes in impressionistic or semi abstract formats. It also gives me the opportunity to work with many different colours which I find very healing. When I paint I find I can lose myself in each painting anew wether they are large or small. The freedom to be creative through my art is the biggest satisfaction I have found in my retirement and I therefore keep exploring ever new ways to put that on canvas. Having learned to use the computer enables me to put my paintings out there on online galleries and through the social media in a way that was never possible in my youth. I hope you will share my joy in the expression of our beautiful world through my art.
