Artist Profile.
I began my artistic journey in oils, but soon discovered the allure of watercolours.
As a self-taught artist, I studied the styles of the masters, both past and present. This has equipped me with the techniques, nature provides an abundance of subject material and inspiration.
My passion for capturing glimpses of nature and painting them in clean, clear colours as in nature is the aspiration that drives me to strive for growth and development as an artist.
