My practice includes a range of methods and materials - oils, acrylic, watercolour, pastel and fresco.Most of my recent work has been completed in my studio and is always worked from life using various organic and inanimate objects collected over time. Knowing the space, using the light and choosing the medium is all part of the creative process of drawing elements together in a picture.
