A. Thor’s Cave, Manifold Valley
Acrylic in canvas 25 x 19 inches framed £225
B. Whitesands Bay, Pembrokeshire
Acrylic in canvas Width 17.5 inches framed £200
I have always been interested in painting and making arty objects since I was a child. I studied art all through my education and did a degree which led me into teaching art and crafts to 5 to11 year old children. I thoroughly enjoyed my career and carried on painting after I retired.
My favourite subjects are local landscapes and seascapes with an interest in wild life and natural history too.
I also enjoy photography often using photos for ideas for paintings with additions to create original works.

Buxton
Charcoal on paper 70 x 50cm framed £95
I work in many mediums but charcoal has been my preferred for a while now. It allows me to catch the essence of a place without too much detail. Buxton has always struck me as a wild and free place. Here a quick snap on a windy night as dusk fell inspired me.
