Um H

Colour and flow have always fascinated me but I had not touched a canvas or paints in twenty years. I wanted to paint but I lacked the time, the opportunity and I guess the courage to do so.

Until the middle of 2020 when I as with others had normality pulled from under us. And then circumstances meant I returned to the canvas. In for a penny and in for a pound, as soon as I painted I decided to show my art to others.

And this is the thing, shall I stay inside this hole and be content, am I defined by what I have done so far or can I be more, am I just one thing or can I be more? Am I a painter? Maybe not. Am I an artist? Maybe not. But I am going to paint and you can see my art for yourselves.

I have no formal education or training in at, in fact I would be able to balance an equation rather than balance the play of light across a surface.

I am a self taught artist. I am interested in perception: What we see is not so much dependant on the eye but on the experiences, attitudes and the thoughts of the person.
