About the Artist.
In the early 60’s I attended Lancaster College of Art in the UK where I studied for a National Diploma in Art and Design concentrations in printing and interior design/ decorative arts. For the next twenty plus years I was self-employed in various business ventures including some involving remodeling, interior design and antiques. I traveled the world extensively.
I didn’t start painting until 1991 when I moved to the U.S.A. to be near my American father. I went back to school and completed a Liberal Studies degree in Philosophy and Creative Communication which included various art classes and resulted in a few solo exhibitions. I continued to paint while furthering my education in alternative spiritual healing as a Certified Master of Transpersonal Hypnotherapy and as an intuitive dealing mainly with the expression of blocked emotions. Since 1995 I have been painting steadily.
My work tends to be expressionist as I feel the energy, vibrations, movements and emotions of an image or color before I put it down. The colors I use are mainly vibrant and intense.
I mainly work with oil on canvas board sometimes with pen and ink of landscapes, sunrises and sunsets, wildlife, and people.
Work in progress is a series of abstract work painted to opera and other music.
A completed interesting series is one on the causes of my former smoking addiction.
Another is series of paintings is called Total Recall on early and regressed childhood memories on child abuse.
The Animal Magic Collection is an on-going series of oil on paper paintings with pen and ink of dogs and cat breeds.
I do commissions mainly of pets.
