COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS INSPIRED BY WWI I decided to try to create an abstract after being inspired by a very interesting talk on abstract art. After painting the base colour and dropping bits of colour in here and there I decided perhaps I was not cut out for abstract painting after all! I left it on my easel to dry. When dry I added pen marks around the shapes but still totally dissatisfied I thought I would leave it on the easel to dry and paint over later. During this time my husband kept walking past, stopping to look at it, puzzling over it to eventually remark 'I recognise this!' How could you I said, it's out of my head! No, he said, it reminds me of arial views of the trenches in the WWI battlefields. Really! I said, and he proceded to print off a few photos of shots taken from the air of the battlefields. The marks were indeed very similar to the photos and so I developed the paintings to dipict the aftermath of these battles.

I started painting with some ‘serious intent’ approximately 14 years ago after having entered the Holbrook Trust Award in in Nottingham, my home town in 2003 and winning 1st prize much to my great surprise. It certainly spurred me on as I was intending to give up art due to great frustration at not being able to express myself as I wished, a dilemma for many a budding artist! I then went on to gain Runner Up again with the Holbrook Trust and also 2nd prize in the Kathleen Marchant Competition with my painting of the Watson Fothergill Head Office which is situated on George Street in Nottingham. Over the years my love of colour has certainly developed and I like to use many media and tend to veer to many topics. I am inspired by my love of the human form and portraiture, and am now venturing into abstract art, a direction I seem to be gravitating to. This increasing understanding of the many avenues I can take constantly challenges me and I look forward to each new endeavour. I often exhibit at the Nottingham Society of Artist's Trust Gallery, Friar Lane and examples of my work can be seen on my own website.
