I am a self taught abstract artist based in South Cumbria. I have always been drawn to creativity throughout my life in different forms, but began to paint a few years ago as a form of mindfulness to help me deal with my increasing anxiety.

I am still exploring and growing as an artist and my painting style is quite free,  unstructured and instinctive. I mostly use splash techniques and love creating impasto work with palette knives.  I am influenced by places and things I love, and the colours and forms in nature and try to represent these by using paint to evoke a sense of the subject without being too literal"
