Walk with Me - South Downs National Park in Snow Painting

Born in Kenya, raised in Sussex, my life as an artist started early. Both my parents are very creative whether it’s through design or music & encouraged me from a young age. When I moved to Sussex at the age of 13 it became easier to enhance my creativity. I studied art at school, college & then an arts degree at Lincoln University. I later acquired my PGCE in art, design & media at Brighton University to inspire other artists. The desire to become a professional artist was more recent & personal. I wanted to create my own brand of hand made textured art that also incorporated older painting techniques. My concept is ‘Sense of Place’. I take places I’ve been, people I met, books I’ve read & create modern art with a vintage edge. My open studio & art gallery are based in Angmering, UK where I also teach workshops. I work in oils using brush & palette knives. Influenced by Turners underpainting technique, I like to fuse it with a textured base to give my work that modern look. The works on here have been featured in House & garden & have been exhibited at Goodwood, Kensington Art Fair & Art Basel in San Fransisco.
