"Forest Clearing" Fine Art Print

Artist and Photographer from the UK with a love of creativity and a passion for the outdoors and wildlife. Given an old bellows type camera at the age of eight and my love of light and capturing images grew from there, using B&W and Colour Film, learning to process and print in Darkrooms and over the years adapting to the changes in technology. Inspired by the works of numerous artists, including Turner, Van Gogh and Hockney, and having had the pleasure of viewing original works in galleries around the world, it was inevitable that I extended my creativity to drawing and painting. I choose to work in a variety of different mediums, including graphite and coloured pencils, watercolours, acrylics and soft pastels - with subject matter ranging from portraits (human and animal) to landscapes and more abstract pieces. I will often have a number of pieces on the go at any one time and feel that working in a variety of mediums helps to keep things fresh, a break from one detailed piece could mean working more freely with expressive brush strokes on another for instance. I am inspired by the world around me and from my travels, I produce my own original works and work on commissions too.
