Festival III Painting

A Primary school teacher by profession for 25 years; (currently working with Special Educational Needs children), I live and work in the city of Bradford (West Yorkshire), UK...………….. My work is simply about the expression and exploration of various types of line to create a multitude and range of Shapes and Pattern. This is a predominant feature of my work. Defining myself essentially as an Abstract artist, I work mainly with Acrylic paint (and mixed media on occasions). I love the freedom to express and create almost in an intuitive and instinctive manner depicting a range of styles from strong, bold geometric shapes to free-flowing, cursive and floral pattern. Sometimes I will use a subject matter or a particular theme depending on the collection. However, the main and dominant feature in my work is, and will always remain, the strong array of shapes, pattern and colour that seem to dominate and essentially, take 'centre stage.'
